G IV I N G O P P O RT U N I T I E S Mission Statement Seeking to put God’s love into action, Habitat for Humanity builds homes, communities and hope. Service Area Habitat for Humanity serves residents from Greene, Christian and Webster Counties, but currently only builds and repairs homes in Greene County. Funding Habitat for Humanity of Springfield, Missouri’s model of homeownership leverages volunteer labor, financial contributions and donated materials. Like all nonprof- its, we depend on volunteers and donations. Unlike other nonprofits, we have a steady form of income through ReStore sales and payments from home- owners. The ReStore accepts donated items from the community and sells those donations to the public. Our homeowners purchase their Habitat home with a 0% interest (0% APR) affordable mortgage and their mortgage payments fund future homes. These sources of income, along with generous financial donors and grants, allow us to maintain a consistent level of service to our community. 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 4-6 houses a year for Habitat partner homebuyers living at 30-80% of the area’s median income. 3. Continue to grow our home preservation and repair programs that assist homeowners without the finan- cial means to repair their home. Habitat serves nearly 100 households each year with repairs ranging from exterior cleanup to roof replacement. How People and Businesses Can Help Individuals and businesses can donate funds, property and in-kind gifts to sponsor construction costs; donate to our endowment fund to sustain our organization; or donate new and used home improvement items to the Habitat ReStore. We’ll even pick up your tax-deductible donations for FREE! The ReStore is open to the public, and funds raised support Habitat’s mission to build strength, stability, and self-reliance through shelter.

After having two children, they started fostering sibling groups. The Wilmoth Family grew from a family of four, to a family of ten, with six permanent adoptions! The family now includes eight children ranging in age from five to eighteen. Josh is a pastor at a local church, and Kristina works as the Marketing Director for a local nonprofit. After not qualifying for a traditional home loan, Josh and Kristina applied to be Habitat for Humanity homeown- ers to provide a safe home for their large family. When they applied, Kristina wrote, “We desire and long to give our children a home where they have space to feel safe and cared for. We want to give them a permanent home that is ours and one we don’t have to worry about our landlord selling.” By partnering with Habitat for Humanity, the Wilmoths will soon own a seven-bedroom, three-bathroom home for their family of ten. It will be the biggest home ever built by the Springfield, Missouri affiliate! Construc- tion began in late June 2020 and should be complete by October. The Wilmoth’s home is located in Habitat Springfield’s Neighborhood Revitalization program area of Woodland Heights.
