About Us
Our Mission
Habitat for Humanity is an ecuminical Christian housing ministry which forms partnerships with volunteers who share the vision of eliminating poverty housing worldwide.
The Mid-Yellowstone Valley affiliate was established in September 1992 and completed its first house exactly one year later. Efforts to continue building provide challenge, opportunity and blessing for individuals and groups who participate.
The average cost to build a Habitat house locally is over $110,000, plus the cost of land. As the Mid-Yellowstone Valley affiliate plans for further construction, there are four areas of critical need:
- Prayer support for the program, the families served, and those who so generously donate.
- Volunteers willing to work on construction sites in the ReStore, in the office or on committees.
- Financial support and donations of materials and supplies.
- Donated or discounted building lots in Yellowstone County.
