donate to Chatham Habitat

At Chatham Habitat, we know that a safe and decent home can change everything for a family. Children feel proud to bring friends home to play, their grades improve, and the dream of going to college becomes a reality.

Instead of worrying about housing, families are free to think of other things, such as college education for their children, employment training for themselves, and volunteering in their neighborhood organizations.

Habitat homeowners also become taxpaying neighbors who value their homes and their neighborhoods.

As a 501(c) (3) non-profit organization, the majority of our support comes from local contributions and partnerships. Donations help fund the building of affordable homes, land purchases and the operation of our mission.

Your gift can make a real difference in the community. Here are ways you can help:
