Habitat for Humanity of Martin County

Great Give 2018

Why should you give to Habitat for Humanity of Martin County during the Great Give?

Every online gift made during the 24-hour period will be amplified by additional dollars from a bonus pool raised by United Way of Palm Beach County. To make April 24 even more exciting, participating organizations can compete for hourly cash or otherwise valuable prizes. Plus, donors have the option to cover processing fees so that every dollar goes right to the nonprofits you love! All donations must be made by 11:59 p.m. on April 24, 2018.

Great Give Palm Beach & Martin Counties is a 24-hour online giving event led by United Way of Palm Beach County, Achieve, Nonprofits First, and United Way of Martin County designed to raise as much money as possible for local nonprofits in a single day. This exciting community-wide event celebrates the spirit of giving and the collective effort it takes to strengthen our local nonprofits and better serve those in need - from children and seniors to the environment and animals!

Why the Great Give is so important to Habitat for Humanity of Martin County

In the past year alone, thanks in part to donations on Great Give Day, we were able to:

● Process more than 450 homeowner applications

● Complete construction on 8 new homes and begin construction on an additional 8 more

● Perform A Brush With Kindness repairs on more than 100 homes

● Begin preliminary work on a new 20 home development in Hobe Sound.

● Worked with the county on a 30 home development in Rio

● Divert, through our two ReStores, more than 850 TONS of usable home goods that would have otherwise been headed to our local landfill

These are just some of the highlights that happen thanks to the donors and supporters of Habitat for Humanity of Martin County. And they sum up just why Great Give Day is so important to our organization.

This Tuesday, April 24, we ask that you please go to Habitat for Humanity of Martin County’s page (here) on the Great Give website and make a donation. No donation is too small (and definitely not too big!).

In addition to all the donations we collect through that site on that day, we will receive a percentage of the overall matching funds pool. That means, on April 24, your dollar goes further than ever before to help us create more affordable and sustainable housing.

Thank you for your support of Habitat for Humanity of Martin County. And thank you for your consideration of our organization on this special day.

Welcome to the Habitat for Humanity of Martin County website!

Since its inception in 1986, Habitat for Humanity of Martin County has built 131 homes in Hobe Sound, Indiantown, Jensen Beach, Port Salerno and Stuart, Fla.

Habitat for Humanity houses are simple, decent and affordable to low-income families who qualify for a zero interest loan that they must pay back.

Whenever possible, we build sustainable, energy-efficient and healthy housing.

The philosophy is to provide entry level, affordable housing at a fair price and good value.

This achievement is possible thanks to the hard work and dedication of the Habitat staff and volunteers, the sweat-equity of the home owners, and an outpouring of support from donors and community partners.
