Haiti Earthquake Relief

Habitat for Humanity is already on the ground in Haiti and assessing the situation.  Your help is urgently needed!  If you can, please donate to support the response efforts. And, please, reach out to your friends, family, neighbors and church communities to tell them that Habitat is mobilizing all available resources to help in Haiti, and that their support is urgently needed, would be much appreciated and would be put to efficient, effective use by Habitat.

Click on the donate button above and mark Haiti in the memo line.  100% of your contribution will go directly to the relief efforts in Haiti.  Thank you.

Building continues on the Lanphear house on 21st Street in January 2010!

Construction is back in full swing on the Lanphear house on 21st Street in Port Townsend.  Painting and siding installation are on the docket for Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays in January.  Francisca Lanphear has accumulated 300 “sweat equity” hours toward her new home, and she and her six children anticipate moving in by April.

The Genaw/Allen family and the Stewart family are settling into their 21st Street neighborhood.  They continue to express their appreciation to all the volunteers, donors, and supporters whose generosity and community spirit helped complete their homes. “We are overwhelmed with gratitude for the volunteers, Habitat program, and support of the local community group,” said Emily Allen on behalf of her husband, Jacob, and their children, Alex, Cora, Grace and David.  “We feel so blessed by the outpouring of love and support we have received every step of our home-building journey. “

Gillian Stewart’s daughter, Mira, 6, is in first grade.  “She greatly appreciates having her own room for the first time,” Gillian said.  “It has been a great learning process to build our home with Habitat and all the volunteers and supporters who make this possible.”
