n Mission Statement
Seeking to put God’s love into action, Habitat for
Humanity brings people together to build homes,
communities, and hope.
n Service Area
Greene, Christian, and Webster Counties
n Funding
Habitat depends on financial donations to fund our work.
These donations help families build a place they can call
home. We also have the local Habitat ReStore, which sells
new and gently used furniture, home accessories, building
materials, and appliances to the public at a fraction of the
retail price. Proceeds help local families build a better
future. Additional donations accepted are vehicles and in-
kind building materials for home construction.
n 12 Month Goals
1. Continue Neighborhood Revitalization efforts in
Woodland Heights neighborhood located in Springfield’s
Zone 1 by collaboratively working to improve the
community’s quality of life.
2. Build and renovate up to seven houses a year for Habitat
partner homebuyers living at 30-80% of the area median
income.
3. Continue to grow our home preservation and repair
programs that assist Springfield homeowners without
the financial means to repair their home. Habitat serves
nearly 100 households each year with repairs ranging
from exterior cleanup to roof repair.
n Annual Events
• Hearts & Hammers Annual Celebration – Nov. 6, 2018
• Tool Belts & Bow Ties – March 22, 2019
• Habitat Home Run: 5k, 10k, 1 Mile – Aug. 24, 2019
n How People & Businesses Can Help
Individuals and businesses can donate funds, property,
and in-kind gifts to sponsor construction costs, donate
to the Endowment Fund to sustain the organization and
donate new and used home improvement items to the
Habitat ReStore. Pick-up of many tax-deductible donations
are FREE! The ReStore is open to the public, and funds
raised support Habitat’s mission to build strength, stability,
and self-reliance through shelter.
n Testimonials
On June 6, 2017, we filled out an application for a Habitat
for Humanity home. On June 12, 2017 God blessed us
when we were notified we were approved for a home. It
was one of the happiest days of our lives, we will never
forget it. Aaron and I were looking forward to our journey
of sweat-equity hours, Tools for Life Classes, and saving for
our down payment. On June 21, 2018 we moved into our
new home. Now that this journey has come to an end, we
will start another today. This is not just a house, it’s a home.
Our home.

Springfield, Missouri Homeowners.
