| There
are a variety of ways to partner with Habitat to help
build a home for a family in need and make a lasting
contribution to our community.
A
Full Covenant Partner funds the entire
cost of home construction, which my be a combination
of cash and in-kind donations of materials and services
totaling $80,000. Habitat selects the partner family
and provides volunteer site supervisors and volunteers
to build the home. The sponsor may also provide volunteer
workers to work with our team. In addition to Saturdays,
weekday work can be arranged for full covenant partners.
“Our
Habitat for Humanity experience was great! It allowed
our employees to participate in a project outside
of the office. They enjoyed the opportunity to help
others. Entire families were involved; creating an
excellent venue for passing on the lessons of helping
others to their children. It was widely accepted,
even retirees showed up for the fun."

A
Covenant Co-Partner contributes one-half
the cost of constructing a Habitat home with cash
and in-kind donations totaling $40,000. Habitat's
development director can identify other possible partners
for the sponsored build site.
“Our support of Habitat
has proven to be a mutually beneficial endeavor. Certainly
the families living in the homes we have helped with
have benefited, but so have our team members who have
dedicated their time, talent and treasure to the effort.
Our folks feel like they and Wells Fargo have made
a real difference to the betterment of all.”

Sponsors
support a Habitat home build for any amount between
$5,000 and $35,000. Gifts from sponsors may cover
the cost of the home's foundation, electrical work
and plumbing, or cabinets and other materials. Sponsors
are welcome to participate in build days, which is
a tremendous opportunity for teambuilding among departments,
employees, or groups.
"The
end result of each hour and each dollar, a Habitat
Home, is a tangible monument to the dreams of a great
group of people who care enough to give a part of
their heart to each project.”
-Andy
& Debi Butler, Butler Insurance Company
A
Work Day Sponsor makes a contribution
to Habitat and provides volunteers for a weekday or
Saturday work day. In return, they receive "building
rights" for the day, on-site training and use
of tools, and lunch. Work day sponsorship is a great
way to strengthen group morale while making a lasting
contribution to the community. Open to businesses,
groups, and churches of all sizes.
