Thank you Aagard for welcoming us into your work space for a Workplace Build! Our crew had fun working with your team to build wall segments plus door and window jambs for the next two homes. We're grateful for your partnership! This is what "together, we build" looks like in action.

A safe, affordable home isn't just four walls. It's a foundation for stable work, healthy kids, financial independence, and roots in a community you love. Together, we build that.

If you're ready to take the first step toward homeownership, we want to hear from you. Apply today: https://bit.ly/3Y8WSFn

We’re looking for makers of all ages and all skill levels for the ReCreations Design Challenge.

Simply check out an item from the ReStore (or use something you already have), give it a new life, and return it by July 21. Bidding and voting for "Most Creative" and "Most Functional" occur from July 22-August 5.

Got an old crib? ReCreate into a bike rack! Hanging on to an old door? Find new life as a headboard or book shelf.

Be sure to visit the Studio on July 1 from 12-2 pm in the ReStore. Courtney & Kari will be there to answer questions and share inspiration.

Then bring the family on August 6 from 3-6 pm for the ReCreations Silent Auction & Ice Cream Social! Make and take activities, ice cream and Italian ice for $1/scoop, yard games, and lots of fun! Every dollar raised going toward building affordable homes and completing repairs for families in Douglas County.

A grab bar. A walk-in shower. A ramp. Wider doorways. Sometimes small changes make the difference between staying in your home and having to leave it.

Habitat for Humanity's Aging in Place program works alongside homeowners 62 and older to make targeted repairs and accessibility upgrades — tailored to how you actually live.
