ng the month of April Habitat for Humanity recognizes that Home is the Key. What do these two ideas have in common? April is a seasonal window when consumers are focused on improving their homes. From spring cleaning to sprucing up homes for spring and summer; the concept of ‘home’ is top of mind for consumers during this month. For Habitat for Humanity, spring brings volunteers out in full force to help homeowners across the U.S. build, rehabilitate or repair their homes. The recycling of your vehicles aka Cars for Homes, building supplies, and housing items to Crystal Coast Habitat allow us – together, to help improve our communities and will highlight the important role of homeownership in helping families achieve strength, stability, and self-reliance.
All donations to Habitat are eligible for tax deductions.
We celebrate Earth Day and Home is the Key by continuing to promote environmental awareness, reminding ourselves that we can protect the earth in our everyday lives as we build homes and by being part of the solution. Everyone needs a place to call home!
