| How Can You Help? It takes money, materials and people power to build homes. Donating to fund home construction makes sense. Thanks to volunteers, Habitat for Humanity has low overhead costs so most funds go toward building. And donations to Habitat for Humanity help more than just one family - as homeowners repay their no-interest loans, those funds are made available to the next homeowners. Financial contributions including cash, stocks, or securities, are warmly received either by telephone, mail, or through our website. Shortcuts to more information on donating:
