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”!

Spring Fundraiser To Be Held May 23
We had so much fun at last year’s spring fundraiser that we are doing it again.
This year’s “The House That Love Built” event will be held May 23 from 6 to 10 p.m. at the Winchester Creek Country Club, located in Walker-in-the-Hills.
Surrounded by mountain views, the outdoor event will feature a buffet dinner of locally grown foods, including Sunburst trout and beef, and a silent and live auction of hand-crafted items. Tickets are $50 and can be obtained from board members or by calling the main office at 828-452-7960.
Groundbreaking Held For First ReStore-Sponsored House
 A smiling Christine Harris and daughter, Tessa Morton, along with Habitat staff and volunteers on April 2 celebrated the start of their future home in the Barefoot Ridge development in Clyde.
This will be the 43rd house built by Haywood Habitat in the county and the first to be paid for through net proceeds of the Habitat ReStore in Waynesville.
The ReStore began its third year of operation on April 1 and is achieving its goal of sponsoring one Habitat house a year.
