WHY DONATE TO CHFH?

At Charleston Habitat for Humanity, we build. We build because we believe that everyone, everywhere should have a healthy, affordable place to call home. When a family helps build or improve a place they can call home, they are also building a better community, a better life for themselves.

Your donation will help families in need of a decent place to build long-term financial security. With an affordable, stable home, families have more to spend on food, medicine, child care, education and other essentials. Your support can help us do more in all the many ways that Habitat builds.

Thanks to you, Charleston Habitat is transforming lives in our community.

The impact of your gift extends well beyond the life of the build. In addition to shelter, homeownership means:

Safety. Many homeowners live in substandard housing located in at-risk neighborhoods. Moving into their newly built Habitat home provides a greater sense of physical safety not only in the home, but in their surroundings as well.

Dignity. Home ownership remains a cornerstone of the “American Dream.” Our partner families take pride in their home and in the success of their achievement of a goal that previously seemed beyond their reach.

Security. By moving away from renting and becoming homeowners, Habitat partner families are able to provide a greater sense of stability for their families.

Opportunity. An affordable monthly mortgage payment frees up income that homeowners can spend, invest, or use to further their education.
