Our First Build-a-thon will be October 8-16! You can help us raise funds for four families. Habitat SHR will be hosting its first annual Build-a-Thon October 8th - October 16th! Much like a Walk-a-Thon, the Habitat SHR Build-a-Thon asks volunteers to engage friends and family in making affordable housing a priority by sponsoring their volunteer hours for Habitat. Participants will sign up for half-day volunteer shifts and fundraise for their hours through a personal fundraising webpage. We have an affordable housing crisis in South Hampton Roads and you can make a difference. Lead the way! Our website will be updated early July with more information. In the meantime, contact Katie Elder at build_a_thon@shrhabitat.org if you have questions and are interested. Click here for the event flyer |

You Can Help Transform Lives and Your Community
I know you don’t know me – but I ask that you please take a moment to let me thank you… because the hero of my story is you.
My story begins seventeen years ago. I left Ottawa, Ontario for America and married a U.S. soldier. We left for Europe for what promised to be an adventurous tour of duty. Unfortunately, that adventure turned into an emotional roller coaster ride spanning more than a decade and leading me to Habitat for Humanity of South Hampton Roads.
