Support North Country Habitat for Humanity's Mission

Did you know? Every home Habitat for Humanity rehabilitates, repairs, or builds is funded entirely through donations. All the labor comes from volunteers—board members, local residents, the future homeowner and their family, community organizations, and local students. We also receive monetary donations to purchase the materials needed to complete each home. 

And no, we don’t give homes away. Each one is awarded to a deserving family after an interview, credit review, and background check. Once chosen, the family must contribute 250 hours of “sweat equity” working on their home, showing their dedication and commitment. Homeowners have a mortgage, but it’s far less than a typical home purchase because there are no labor costs, and it’s further reduced by the value of donated funds. 

You can volunteer, too! We usually work every Saturday and welcome anyone willing to help, no matter your skill level. From raking lawns to hanging sheetrock, roofing, or painting—there’s something for everyone. 

Your donation will help us continue our mission and support our community. Every dollar counts and will make a difference in the lives of those we serve. You can also donate any amount, and every bit helps cover construction costs. While we’re working on securely accepting online donations, you can send a check or money order to North Country Habitat for Humanity, PO Box 773, Malone, NY 12953, or arrange to meet us in person. All donations are tax-deductible and go directly toward building homes.
