Cumberland County Habitat For Humanity

Mission:
Cumberland County Habitat For Humanity is dedicated to building strength, stability, and self-reliance through shelter. The organization works to ensure that every family has the opportunity to live in a safe and affordable home, fostering a community where everyone has a decent place to live.

Services Provided:

• Homeownership Program: Assists families in achieving homeownership by partnering with them to build and purchase affordable homes. The program includes a selection process and requires families to contribute 'sweat equity' by working alongside volunteers.
• Volunteer Opportunities: Offers a variety of ways for community members to get involved, including construction, event support, and working at the ReStore. Volunteers play a crucial role in the organization's mission and impact.
• ReStore: Operates a nonprofit retail and donation center where individuals can shop for discounted home goods, donate items, or volunteer. Proceeds from the ReStore directly support the organization's building projects.
• Community Events: Hosts fundraising and community-building events, such as the annual 'Lunch on the Lawn,' which is the largest fundraiser and supports the building fund for affordable housing.
