Make a Difference!



Volunteering with Habitat for Humanity is a wonderful experience.

You will not only make a tangible difference in the lives of people who truly need your help, but you will also grow in character as a human being.


We hope you will join us to make a difference in our community, then return to improve your own.


If you are unable to make the trip to beautiful Phelps, Kentucky; a donation of any amount is greatly appreciated.
Every penny is put to good use purchasing supplies and materials.


You can change someone's life today. Any amount will bring us closer to giving a family much needed shelter.
