We Build Strength, Stability & Self-Reliance

TODAY, December 1, 2020, people all around our nation are coming together to tap into the power of human connection to change our communities for the better.

Will you be one of them?

The L-C Valley Habitat for Humanity will be participating in #GivingTuesday and we need your help! Whether you want to make a one-time or monthly gift, you can make a difference.

Giving Tuesday is an opportunity for people in the L-C Valley to stand together in unity⁠⁠—to use their individual power of generosity to help build strength, stability and self-reliance. Here is what your gift can do:

$25 buys two boxes of nails
$50 low-flow toilet
$100 kitchen sink
$500 pays for interior paint

If you are reading this after December 1, and you still want to give, visit our Giving Tuesday Link or text Giving20 to 91999.

We are grateful for your continued support,

New Habitat Store Manager

This 4 generations photo was taken 1 month ago on my grandpa’s 100^th birthday. Left to Right: my father, my grandpa, my son, Payton, and me.

I grew up in the Spokane/CdA. After my time as infantryman with the US Army, I relocated to Moscow, where I managed a local bar and graduated from the University of Idaho. For the last 15 years, I have managed the Lewiston Applebee's. I have 3 children, Rylee (20), Ethan (18) and Payton (12).

I enjoy watching sports, cooking, playing video games, and really anything else I can do with my children. I look forward to working at the Habitat for Humanity Store, to help the valley with local donations and affordable products. I am also excited to use the store’s profits to further the Habitat’s larger mission of providing affordable housing to the community we all call home!
