What is Carpenter's Club?

If I were a carpenter ….

But, maybe you’re not.  Because you can’t hammer a nail, does that mean that you can’t build a home?  Absolutely not!  You can still join the Carpenter’s Club and become a crucial part of the construction of each Habitat home.  And in doing so, you will be helping Habitat to fulfill its mission of providing decent, affordable homes for deserving families.

All you have to do is to contribute $50 for each of four homes that we complete every year (or you can make one annual payment of $200 if you prefer).  Your money will go directly to defraying the costs of the construction materials for each home.

By joining the Carpenter’s Club, you will have the unique opportunity of being able to see what your contributions have created and to experience first-hand the joy of the new homeowners.  We will send you an invitation to the dedication of each home so that you can tour the home that you helped to build, meet the new homeowners, and take part in the celebration.  As a club member, you will have the satisfaction of knowing that you have helped some deserving neighbors to live a better life and their communities to grow.

To join the Carpenter’s Club, visit the contact us page and check the Carpenter’s Club box.
