"The Excitement is Building." -Millard Fuller, Founder of HFHI

Habitat for Humanity of Douglas County

Based in Douglas County, Minnesota, we exist as a nonprofit, Christian housing ministry that seeks to eliminate poverty housing in the community and to make simple, decent shelter a matter of conscience and action.

Donate
Volunteer

Each gift helps a family in need of decent shelter. Donations are tax-deductible as allowed by law and will be acknowledged with a letter you may use for those purposes. We take seriously our responsibility to contributors, to those counting on our help to be wise stewards of funds entrusted to us.

Volunteering with Habitat for Humanity is a great way to learn new skills and give back to the community. If you would like to help, please fill out our Volunteer Registration Form (PDF) along with a release waiver and submit it via fax or mail. Learn about construction and non-construction opportunities.

Faith-Based

Your church and Habitat

As an ecumenical Christian Ministry, Habitat for Humanity is founded on principles that transcend theological and religious differences. Simply put, Habitat provides people of all faiths an opportunity to live in a decent home. From the partnership of volunteers, sponsors, and homeowners, evolves a network of lasting friendships and communities. Your Congregation can partner with Habitat for Humanity through:

Remembering Habitat’s challenging mission, our families, volunteers and staff in your prayers
Inviting a Habitat representative to speak to your congregation
Facilitating a Habitat fundraiser at your church
Supporting Habitat’s ongoing mission by organizing volunteers to work on Habitat homes
Donating to Habitat and help finance new homes for deserving families

Faith-based Partnership

Recognizing that sponsorship of an entire Habitat home may be beyond the means of many small congregations, Habitat has worked in the past with the faith communities to partner together and build a designated home. We will be delighted to work with your congregation to seek out other partners and plan a house with you. To arrange for a presentation or for more information, please call Dennis Thompson, Church Relations Chair, at 320-763-7813, or email.
