2023 Home#49 Volunteers

Dear Friends of Door County Habitat for Humanity,

In May of 2025, Door County Habitat for Humanity will break ground on something special—home number 50. But this isn’t just about constructing a house. It’s about building dreams, building security, and building hope for hardworking families eager for a chance at homeownership. This milestone is within our reach, but we can’t do it alone. We need your support.

To make this project a reality, we’re asking you to help us raise $215,000 by February of 2025. There are families right now who have been waiting patiently—families who deserve the opportunity to build a better future, one that begins with a place to call their own. Your generosity can make that possible.

Now, I understand there are challenges. Early this year, due to a shortfall in funding, the Board of Directors made a tough decision to pause construction in 2024. But it was the right call—a decision to ensure we are financially sustainable, so that we can come back stronger and make home number 50 a reality in 2025.

Let me share with you the impact of your donations. In 2023, we partnered with the Newman family in Sturgeon Bay. Abagail, a single mother raising her teenage son Evan, moved into their new home, and it changed everything. For Abagail, this wasn’t just a roof over her head, it was the foundation of peace and security she needed. Now, she’s thriving, able to channel her artistic talents into work that supports her family. Evan, now in a stable environment, has his own space to grow and thrive. This home has become a place of healing, a place of hope, and it wouldn’t have been possible without the kindness of donors like you.
