Join Us for Two Groundbreakings on

Saturday, September 18

 

 

Habitat will break ground on house #71 and #70 on Saturday, September 18 at 10AM and noon, respectively.

 

House #71, located at 1004 9th Street in Rock Island, is being built for the Fernand and Sera Avegnon partner family. The home's construction will be supervised by Ed and Judy Connelly. Sponsors for the home include Wells Fargo, The Quad City Area REALTOR Association, and the Augustana College Habitat for Humanity Chapter.

 

House #70, located at 322 8th Street in Davenport, is being built for the Tony Threlkeld partner family. The home's construction will be supervised by Chuck Buel. Funding for the home will be provided by the Scott County Housing Council. the Habitat 500, the Pleasant Valley High School Habitat Club, and Russell Construction.

 

All Habtiat supporters are encouraged to attend both groundbreakings!

 

 

Habitat is thrilled to announce its first capital campaign, A Home for Habitat. With a goal of raising $760,000, the campaign will fund the purchase and renovation of a new office and warehouse space.

 

 

Located adjacent to Habitat ReStore, the new building will:

• Enable Habitat to utilize interns and Americorps/VISTA volunteers;
• Allow Habitat to order construction materials in quantity to take advantage of bulk pricing;
• Allow Habitat to accept large, in-kind donations of materials made available through Habitat for Humanity International; and
• Increase efficiency through shared resources with ReStore.

 

Thanks to these cost-saving and efficiency measures, Habitat expects to reduce the cost to build its homes by $6,000 per house.
