We wouldn't be able to do what we do without the support of our volunteers. In 2018, our volunteers donated more than 25,000 hours of service which made an economic impact in our community of over $500,000. While that's a lot of money, the impact of your time and talents will last with our families for generations.
Join us for lunch as we say Thank You for all of your support. We will have a delicious lunch from Famous Dave's and some tasty ice cream from Whitey's.
Please RSVP if you like to attend so we can ensure we have enough food for everyone. We hope to see you on August 11th!

In Support of Habitat for Humanity Quad Cities
The Habitat program is a multi-prong approach to breaking the cycle of poverty. First, we work to identify low income families who can’t qualify for traditional mortgages and who have a need for better housing options. We pair this family with a mentor who helps them through the process of building a new home. In addition, the families must complete 250 hours per adult of “sweat equity” before they can move into their new home. They must also complete a series of classes relating to budgeting, home maintenance, and other information pertaining to successful home ownership. Once the program and build is complete the Partner Family will close on their new home with a zero percent mortgage and low down payment. Habitat for Humanity holds this mortgage to ensure that the family’s payments are no more than 30% of their monthly income. The mortgage payments they make are paid forward to help us build homes for future families.Habitat for Humanity Quad Cities builds strength, stability, and self-reliance through affordable housing. In addition to the Home Building program, we also operate a Home Repair and Neighborhood Revitalization program.
