Habitat is able to make housing affordable to low-income families because:

• Houses are sold through a no-profit mortgage.
• Individuals, corporations, faith groups and others provide vital financial support.
• Homeowners and volunteers build under trained supervision.
• Since its founding in 1976, Habitat for Humanity has built over 350,000 houses, providing shelter for more than 1.75 million people in nearly 90 countries.

Although attendance at the South East Sunshine Rally was somewhat disappointing this year those attending the rally opened their hearts and their wallets for the Holiday Rambler charities. $488.00 was raised in the Habitat for Humanity raffle. Thanks to all who purchased tickets, donated prizes and worked in the booth selling tickets.

One of three recognized charities supported by HRRVC members is Habitat for Humanity. Members can support Habitat for Humanity through donations, the purchase of raffle tickets at HRRVC events or the donation of items to be raffled or participating in a build. To get information about upcoming builds you can contact the Ramblin’ Builders, Chapter 444, on the HRRVC web site. Donations for the raffle table can be brought to the Habitat booth at the event. Monetary donations can be sent to:
