Offering More Than a Home, Habitat for Humanity® Changes Lives
Working with Habitat Lehigh Valley over the past five years has been so much more than a business partnership. The Habitat team exuded a warmth and humility from the start, transforming a community outreach into that of friendship and family. They work to make a difference in lives every day and that passion inspires us here at ICA and throughout our Lehigh Valley community. During the Habitat building experience, that same warmth and light is felt by the families they partner with.
“Families who partner with us build their own homes alongside volunteers, pay an affordable mortgage, and are grateful for your help.”
Habitat’s mission is to give families “a hand up, not a hand out.” They aim to break the cycle of poverty by providing hardworking, disadvantaged families with a decent home in a safe neighborhood, helping them secure a better place to live and raise their children. These Habitat families in turn give at least 250 hours of “sweat equity” back to the organization by working on the construction of their own home and those of others in the program, as well as attending home ownership and budgeting classes. Habitat’s purpose is to provide struggling families with the resources needed to guide and lift them out of their current situations.
A Chance to Give Back
Each and every one of us has a chance to make a difference every day. Small acts of charity add up to a big world of difference, a world of kindness. Will you help us spread light to our community in the simplest of ways? By sharing one Santa Selfie for Habitat for Humanity, you can help spread some joy this Christmas season! We’ve all been through a lot these last two years. During that time it has become clear just how precious “community” is. The bonds created during a Habitat build prove just that. None of us can do this life alone – we need each other. So let’s spread some love, share some smiles, be a light together.
