Give it Back. This is our favorite. We started with our first house in 2007...giving back $1,000 to Habitat for Humanity for each home! In 2008, we gave more cash and we also sponsored a Habitat Blitz home...building from start to finish in less than seven days! In total, we have donated $43k in cash to Habitat and partnered with our trades to sponsor the $50k blitz home. In these tough times, we are very proud to have helped out.
I also must take a moment to confess that we have not been able to keep up the pace of $1k per home to Habitat this past year. It breaks my heart to admit this...I'm still hoping we can catch up! But for the moment, we are going to focus on all the other ways we give back (see future posts), while we rebuild our finances to once again help Habitat.
Someday we will build a village for Habitat for Humanity. I promise. \JG
