We are excited to share all that we have going on and it's made possible because of your support! Habitat needs a village of people willing and able to volunteer, donate, shop and serve alongside us so that collectively we can build homes for families in our own community. 

Did you know that beyond being a really great place to shop and donate, our ReStore covers 92% of our operating expenses so that your donations help us build homes? Wow! What a great asset ReStore is for our nonprofit! 

Thrilled to partner with you,

In April we made great strides on our last 2 lots in the Merrick neighborhoo d and are continuing preparations for our exciting Blitz Build home on Huettl Lane.

May will be another full month for us! We start with a Women Build Day on May 7 and anticipate almost 50 women building with us! 
 
On May 27, we will celebrate the Mitma home with a sweet Dedication! We hope you will join us! During this month we are also working on  the Mollman/Graham home, getting it dried in and moving towards finishes. 
 
If that's not enough, we'll be setting foundations on the two  Huettl Ln properties for the Casner and Kirsch families. The  Blitz Build for the Kirsch family is June 6-10! 

Thank you volunteers and AmeriCorps members for all your hard work!  You are the best!

Donors Like Cornerstone Make a Huge Difference!
Cornerstone Drafting & Design (CDD) believes in what Bend Area Habitat for Humanity stands for, building homes for low income families. CDD believes in the foundation of its history as a Christian organization that gives people hope. CDD enjoys giving hope to others through designing homes that meet and/or exceed their expectations. Scott Kuyper owner of CDD said, "Everyone should have an opportunity to have a nice looking, quality built home that they can be proud to live in." 

Thanks for partnering with us on quality and beautiful looking homes, Scott and Cornerstone!
