Like everyone around the world, 2020 produced some challenges for us here at Habitat. Despite that, we are proud to say we've started work on two new homes in Freeport called Freeport Woods. In early 2021 we’ll be able to say “Welcome Home” to two deserving Maine families. They’ll embark on a new journey of homeownership, allowing for safety, stability, generational prosperity, and more. We need your help to build these homes. We hope you’ll join us in making this dream come true.

“Our family will be forever thankful to Habitat for Humanity. The people who work at Habitat and the volunteers have provided a home where we are raising our family and a homebase for us to go out and do good work in the world ourselves. It was obvious that every person we met along the way at Habitat wanted our family to succeed, that kind of support is a rare thing. Also, it is fun to still see the disbelief on the kids' faces when we tell them we helped build our house!” Habitat homeowner Zach

We owe a huge thank you to the Greater Portland Board of REALTORS for their Habitat for the Holidays online auction! The auction was live for two weeks in November and featured dozens of incredible items that brought in hundreds of bids. Thanks to their efforts, they've raised $25,000 and counting!

Thank you to Portside Real Estate Group for their November event, Hops for Habitat at Home! They typically has an event at Oxbow Brewing every November that benefits Habitat. Since they were unable to do a physical event, they created a deal with Oxbow that allowed people to purchase a curated 4-pack of beers for pick-up. The fundraiser raised over $6500!
