Welcome to Haywood Habitat for Humanity….
 We appreciate your interest in our non-profit ministry. Since 1990, Haywood Habitat for Humanity has been building affordable housing in the county. As an affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International, we are committed to eliminating poverty housing in the community and to helping needy families realize their dream of home ownership. We believe, as a matter of conscience, that all people deserve basic, decent, affordable shelter.
Millard Fuller, co-founder of Habitat for Humanity International, described the essence of Habitat as an opportunity to “let your light shine”. In other words, putting your God given talents to practical use in helping others. We hope you will consider becoming involved in the community through our organization. We promise it will be one of the most rewarding and fun experiences of you life!
Enrich Others, Enrich Yourself, and “Let your Light Shine”!
Unique and Antique Items on Display in ReStore Silent Auction
A pole bed frame, a spinning wheel, a rocker and tea cart and an old-time typing table with cast iron legs are among the antique and unique items Habitat ReStore Manager Gary Clontz has displayed for a silent auction. “All bids must be made by 2 p.m. December 12,” said Clontz. “We have some pretty unusual items donated to the store,” said Clontz, who took over as manager in October. “The silent auction concept provides an opportunity to obtain a higher price for the items and at the same time draw more customers into the store.”
House Donation a Win-Win For Habitat and Owner
Bob Browning, a successful Canton businessman, donated this house to Haywood Habitat. According to Browning, the donation was a win-win situation. “The Good Lord and this country have been very good to me,” said Browning. “I am blessed to be in a situation where I need tax write-offs so I knew a donation would help me as well as a future Habitat family. I love to help people.” Click on News Releases at left to read more.
