Make it a DAY ON, not a DAY OFF!
The Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service is a defining moment each year when Americans across the country step up to make our communities more equitable and take action to build the Beloved Community of Dr. King’s dream. While Dr. King believed the Beloved Community was possible, he acknowledged and fought for systemic change. His example is our call to action.
Observed each year on the third Monday in January, MLK Day is the only federal holiday designated as a national day of service to encourage all Americans to volunteer to improve their communities. - From AmeriCorps.gov

Mission Statement
Seeking to put God’s love into action, Habitat for Humanity brings people together to build homes, communities and hope
Description
No matter who we are or where we come from, we all deserve to have a decent life, to feel strong and stable, and to know we have the power to take care of ourselves and build our own futures.
To address the need for quality housing in our community, Habitat for Humanity of Omaha builds and renovates homes, repairs
existing houses, takes down blighted structures and advocates for better laws and systems. We work with families to help them
acquire the access, skills and financial education necessary to become successful homeowners. Since 1984, Habitat Omaha has
partnered with more than 1,600 families in our community to provide affordable homeownership and home improvement
opportunities. Thousands of donors and volunteers have worked together with future homeowners to make these opportunities
a reality, building stronger neighborhoods and effecting measurable change in the community. Habitat Omaha has revitalized
properties with very little taxable value, resulting in approximately $524,000 in property taxes paid by Habitat Omaha
homeowners in 2018.
