What HFHNRV Does for You

Engage!

Teaching the Trades We bring the construction site to school providing trade students at Giles Technical Center a hands on experience in construction. Students have begun their fifth Habitat home this fall.

Ways to engage through giving. You can make an annual donation, a monthly donation, or a one-time contribution. We encourage legacy giving through Donor Directed Funds or Endowments.
