Habitat for Humanity of Nodaway County

Board members representing Habitat for Humanity of Nodaway County today accepted a donation of $373 from Region 1 of the Family, Career, and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA).  Region 1 officers chose to support Habitat for Humanity because the organization matches the ideals and values of FCCLA by supporting communities and families in need through home construction.  The money gifted to Habitat was raised during FCCLA’s fall regional meeting, where members of Region 1 passed buckets in a “Miracle Minute” race to raise funds by donating change. All members were encouraged to bring spare change to the meeting. Board members representing  Habitat for Humanity of Nodaway County are pictured with members of FCCLA's Region 1 officer team.  

  Board members representing Habitat for Humanity of Nodaway County today joined representatives of US Bank, who presented the organization with a donation of $10,000 to support its future partnerships and home construction.    Habitat for Humanity of Nodaway County is a non-profit, nondenominational Christian housing ministry that seeks to eliminate poverty housing and invites people from all walks of life to work in partnership to build houses with individuals and families in need. It offers partner families an opportunity to help themselves, to own a decent, affordable home, for which they pay and maintain.    Partner families invest hundreds of hours of “sweat equity” into building their homes and the homes of others. The houses are sold to partner families at no profit and with no interest charged. Mortgage payments are placed in a revolving fund and used to finance additional houses.
