Congratulations

Rockford Area Habitat For Humanity!!

RAHFH is the 2009 recipient of the Rockford Register Star's EXCELSIOR AWARD! Thanks to all of our volunteers and homeowners. As the presenter of the award said, “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world.”

The Excelsior was established by the Rockford Register Star in 1979. The award honors an organization or institution whose work has a positive impact on life in the Rock River Valley.

Volunteers Wanted: Selling Hammers, not swinging them!

Would you or someone you know enjoy volunteering for Habitat for Humanity...outside of the home construction season? There are a variety of opportunities at the ReStore! ReStore staff assist customers during store hours, pick up donations, prepare and price inventory, complete administrative tasks and much more! With the exception of the store manager, the ReStore staff is entirely volunteer. It's because of our volunteers that the profits from the Restore will provide the funds to expand the local building program in the coming years. If you would like more information on volunteering, call the ReStore at 815-713-3184.
