WE BUILD HOMES, COMMUNITIES, AND HOPE…

BUILD WITH US!

We believe in a world where everyone has a decent place to live.
Through shelter, we empower ourselves, our neighbors, and our community.

Habitat for Humanity of Schenectady County, Inc. has a vitally important role in the growing need for affordable housing. With your help, families will achieve the strength, stability and self-reliance they need to build a better life for themselves and their families.

Your financial contribution not only helps provide affordable homeownership for a local family, it also:

• Creates stability for children to focus and succeed in school
• Brings stability, investment, and long-term neighbors back to neighborhoods
• Generates property tax revenue to support city and county services
• Removes people from unhealthy living conditions such as mold, lead paint, and rodent infestations

We are so grateful for every donation received and appreciate all of our donors for their continued support. Donations, large or small, help us to achieve our goal of providing safe and affordable housing by building homes, communities and hope.

ReStore – Remodeling, cleaning, down-sizing or just getting organized? Whatever your project, don’t let the items you no longer need end up in your local landfill. Habitat ReStore’s divert hundreds of tons from landfills each year, accepting hard-to-dispose-of items including new and used furniture, appliances and surplus building materials. Best of all, proceeds from the sale of these donated goods help families build a foundation for the future. You never know what you’ll find at Restore and take home!!

Matching Gifts – Your employer may have a program to match your donations! Consult your HR department to see if your employer participates.
