Your Gift Will Build a Home
Thank you for your support! Volunteers and donated materials help keep our costs low, but our homes still cost approximately $100,000 to build. We receive no funds from Habitat International - all our support must come from the local community.
Consider these items from our current home build budget:
- $10 pays for a sheet of drywall
- $30 buys a box of flooring
- $70 pays for a bundle of roof shingles or an interior door
- $500 pays for all exterior paint
- $1000 pays for the foundation concrete
You will receive a receipt and thank you from Palouse Habitat for your tax records.
