‘TIS THE SEASON! HELP HABITAT HELP OTHERS!
Th is is the time of year when every charity stretches out a hand and asks for your help to meet its mission. Th is is a good thing because it gives all of us a
chance to factor the needs of our community into our Christmas, seasonal and year-end gift lists. So, why should you put Habitat for Humanity on your list?
One paramount reason that makes Habitat special is the long-lasting eff ects of Habitat’s actions in this community. Aff ordable housing and home repairs may
take some time to fund and accomplish but when Habitat volunteers are done, a family has a simple, decent home in which to live, raise children, and give
back to the community. In addition to building aff ordable housing, the Habitat repair program provides a previously house-bound person with an accessibility
ramp to open a wider lifestyle. New steps, repaired decking, caulked and sealed windows, and more has a long-term eff ect on the health and safety of a home-
owner.
Please make a gift to Cottage Grove Area Habitat for Humanity that will assist to build or repair a home. If your ready cash is scarce, and you have time and
skills, please give the gift s of your time and expertise by volunteering at the construction sites or helping in the ReStore. Donate working appliances, furniture,
tools, and building materials to the ReStore for aff ordable resale to others. Donate your old vehicle of any kind (running or not) to Habitat’s Cars For Homes
program. Leave Habitat for Humanity a leagacy in your will or make Cottage Grove Area Habitat a benefi ciary of your Trust. Every gift will make a lo.g-lasti.g
diff ere.ce i. this commu.ity!
Th e mission of Habitat for Humanity is to eliminate substandard housing and create safe, healthy and aff ordable housing together with hope for the future ~
right here in Cottage Grove! Working together we all can make this happen and many lives will be changed.
