Help a family in need

Join the Hammer Society

Greater Florence Habitat for Humanity has made it simple for you to help your community and the individuals in it by joining the Hammer Society. The Hammer Society offers Florence County residents an easy way to donate to Habitat for Humanity on a monthly basis, giving us the means to build even more homes for those in need.

Pay it forward

Workplace Giving

We partner with many businesses that have employee giving programs and/or match the contributions given by employees and retirees. With such an arrangement, every dollar you donate to Habitat for Humanity has the potential to be doubled or tripled by your employer’s donation, ensuring that we will be able to help more local families afford safe and decent housing.

commemorate a loved one

Honorariums & Memorials

What better way to recognize a loved one than by investing in the Florence community in their name? An honorarium donation is a perfect graduation, Bar/Bat Mitzvah, baptism, wedding or birthday gift. All donations go directly towards helping families in the Florence community attain affordable and safe housing. Simply fill out our secure donation form at the link below and designate your gift ‘In Honor’ of the one you love.

Be a community leader

Host a Fundraising Event

We hold many fundraising events throughout the year and always welcome new suggestions for events that will benefit our mission. Over the years, our fundraising partners have hosted bake sales, silent auctions, and ’round up’ days to help raise funds for a needy family. Please contact us at the link below if your business, church or organization is interested in hosting a fundraiser for the Greater Florence Habitat for Humanity.

Donate material needs

Real Estate & Material Donations

Donating homes and/or land to Habitat for Humanity is a great way to give back to the community and help deserving families receive safe and affordable shelter. The donated property will be used to build Habitat homes or may be sold to raise funds for home construction elsewhere in the community.

Give every time you shop

Amazon Smile Donations

Donating to Greater Florence Habitat for Humanity is as easy to do when shopping on Amazon. When customers shop on AmazonSmile (smile.amazon. com), the AmazonSmile Foundation will donate 0.5% of the price of eligible purchases to the charitable organizations selected by customers. So make sure to select Greater Florence Habitat for Humanity as your charitible donation next time your making purchases on Amazon!

Make a commitment to affordable housing

Demonstrate Civic Leadership. Sponsor a Habitat for Humanity Home Build.

Businesses and organizations who partner with us to eliminate poverty housing are the bedrock of strong communities. Being a build sponsor not only provides businesses and organization with highly visible way to showcase their commitment to our community but also provides faith-based organizations with a way to fully fund and build a home for a local family.

In exchange for being a build sponsor we provide signage at the construction site in recognition of your commitment to help a family out of poverty housing, we recognize your organization in our marketing materials, provide team building opportunities at the build site, and invite you to participate in home dedication and other key Habitat events.

Our Build Sponsors Provide:

• Funds: The cost of a home depends on the size and specific needs of the family, but $110,000 is the average in our area.
• Volunteers: Volunteers at least 16 years of age can help build. No experience is necessary!
• Time: Construction typically takes 12-16 weeks. Build sponsors donate their time to help build the home under the skilled supervision of our building contractors.
• Attend: After the house is built, we invite our sponsors to attend the home dedication where our partner family officially receives their new house keys and we all celebrate a job well done!

We Partner With Our Sponsors To:

• Secure the construction site including purchase and preparation of the land
• Provide all building materials, blueprints, permits, etc.
• Provide skilled construction supervision, training and support of your volunteers
• Select and support the Partner Family
• Recognize and publicize home sponsors
• Recruit/provide additional volunteers as needed.

Volunteering on site with Habitat will strengthen your team spirit and morale as members from all levels of your company communicate, cooperate, and work together to get a job done.

Join us for a day of building. Bring the volunteers and financial contribution, and we’ll provide skilled construction supervision, training, tools and safety equipment.
