Raise the Roof 2026

Together, we can build a better future

At Habitat for Humanity of the River Valley, we believe every family deserves the chance to build a safe, stable, and self-reliant future. Yet for many, homeownership remains out of reach. That’s where we can partner together.

Habitat for Humanity serves families in need of safe and affordable housing. Through our model, future homeowners work alongside volunteers, contributing “sweat equity” and taking an active role in shaping their future.

These families then purchase their homes from Habitat through affordable mortgages, gaining financial stability and independence. Locally, we've helped over 330 families turn the dream of homeownership into reality.

Owning a home transforms lives. Studies show it leads to better health, greater safety, academic success, and expanded economic opportunities. It gives children the stability they need to thrive and helps break the cycle of poverty.

We invite you to support our 5th annual Raise the Roof Celebration. Your sponsorship helps us buy building materials, support volunteers, and provide resources to families working toward homeownership.

Together, we can ensure everyone has a decent place to live. Please join us in this mission, knowing that your partnership will change lives ... one home, one family, one community at a time.

Thank you for your support,

Jenny McGuire, Angel Stinson, Kathi Tew, and Lynn Troy
