We made it! All of the application sections have been turned in to Habitat for Humanity International, and our consultant is currently working on reviewing the sections for approval. We have also raised our initial $3,000 needed to show community support! Thank you to all of you who donated towards this.

Our next big task is going to be to raise the money to build our first house this fall. Our fundraising committee could use some extra members if any one is interested in volunteering please let us know at 319-753-8130. We hope to hit the ground running and start building a home this fall!
