Goodhue County Habitat for Humanity is celebrating its 25th Anniversary – 25 years of building strength, stability and self-reliance through shelter!

Since our founding in 1993, we have partnered with families and volunteers to provide decent, affordable homes in our community. Everyone deserves the opportunity that your support of Goodhue County Habitat for Humanity makes available to them. We invite you to join us as we celebrate every family we have encountered in our years of building and repairing homes.

On Giving Tuesday, millions of people will make a donation in support of their favorite charity. But if you use AmazonSmile, you can consistently give back to Goodhue County Habitat for Humanity when you buy items you regularly purchase.

Start by logging onto http://www.smile.amazon.com, and Amazon will donate 0.5% of your purchase–excluding shipping, handling and taxes—to  Goodhue County Habitat for Humanity. The service makes sense for the millions of Americans who shop on Amazon and subscribe to its Prime service, which offers free two-day shipping.

The company says that tens of millions of products on the site are eligible for AmazonSmile donations, and it promises that using the service won’t result in higher prices. Seems like a win-win situation for you and Habitat.
