Fox Valley Habitat for Humanity uses volunteers in many different ways. We have volunteers that work at the build-site, to help us with our four annual events, and in a variety of ways in the office. We would love to have someone work on a flexible, consistent basis to build our volunteer base. If you are that type of person, let's talk to see if we are a good fit for each other. Fox Valley Habitat for Humanity is interested in several people recruiting volunteers for different needs.

Some basic facts about Fox Valley Habitat for Humanity: Habitat for Humanity is unique in what we do to provide affordable housing to transform lives to help families become self-sufficient. Here are some thought-provoking facts about us: Our Habitat families must be working because they get a mortgage. Our families earn 30%-60% of the average median income. ($22,000-$45,000) We are the builder and the mortgage company. Our interest rate is always 0%. We have only had one foreclosure in our history despite the fact that our Habitat families cannot qualify for a bank loan because their income is too low. Every family must participate in our 28 hour financial literacy training course. Every family must work 350-500 of sweat equity with FVHH before moving into their home. Also, 200 of those hours must be on other FVHH homes. The total house payment including taxes and insurance is lower than comparable rent. FVHH uses a model that has been used successfully 600,000 times around the world. FVHH has a positive impact on our community by paying $3 million dollars in property taxes and $5 million dollars in building costs. We create a culture for people to benefit each other. Volunteerism is good for everyone. We transform lives. A University of Southern Indiana study shows measurable proof that Habitat for Humanity has an enormous positive impact in many areas for each family.
