At Goodhue County Habitat for Humanity, we believe that everyone deserves a safe, decent place to call home. This November 1st-21st, we invite you to join us for Give to the Max Day 2024, a day when Minnesotans come together to make a real impact through generosity.
Why Affordable Housing Matters in Our Community
Affordable housing is essential for creating strong, stable communities. Yet, here in Goodhue County, many families are struggling to find safe, affordable places to live. Did you know that more than 1,200 local families are facing housing insecurity? Many of these families are spending more than 30% of their income on housing, leaving little for other basic needs like food, healthcare, and education.
That's where your support comes in. On Give to the Max Day, every donation we receive helps fund programs that address these critical needs.
How Your Donation Helps Build Homes and Hope
Homeownership: Through GCHFH’s Homeownership Program, we help families build and purchase affordable homes with no-interest loans. Your donation allows us to continue partnering with families to provide housing stability and hope for a brighter future.
Workforce Development: Our "Build for Tomorrow" program trains local high school students in construction skills, preparing them for careers while simultaneously helping build homes for those in need. It’s a win-win! Your support helps fund materials and training for the next generation of builders.
"Live Well at Home" & Aging in Place: With your help, seniors in Goodhue County can continue living in their homes safely and independently. Our Live Well at Home program provides home modifications, such as ramps and safety rails, to ensure that older adults can age with dignity.
How to Join Us on Give to the Max Day
On November 21st, visit givemn.org/organization/Goodhue-County-Habitat-For-Humanity to make a tax-deductible donation to support these programs. You don’t have to wait until the 21st—early giving begins on November 1st, and every gift counts toward our overall goal.
We’re aiming to raise $5,000 this year to support affordable housing and community revitalization efforts across Goodhue County. With your help, we can provide more local families with the opportunity to build strength, stability, and self-reliance through affordable homeownership.
Spread the Word
Even if you can’t make a donation this year, you can still help! Share our Give to the Max Day campaign with your friends, family, and colleagues, and encourage them to support GCHFH.
Together, we can build more than just homes. We can build a stronger, more resilient community where everyone has the chance to thrive.
