A heartfelt thank you to Consumers Credit Union for their incredible support! Their crew came out to one of our build sites to cut and install styrofoam insulation for the outside walls and some interior portions of the home, along with nailing in wall plates for the interior walls. We are so grateful to local business partners who help us build more homes for families in #LakeCounty! #MondayMotivation #LakeCountyBusiness #CommunitySupport #ConsumersCreditUnion #HabitatForHumanity #AffordableHousing #BuildingHomes #HabitatBuildDay #CorporatePhilanthropy

Most recently, #Baxter volunteers joined us at one of our new build sites in #Waukegan to install fiberglass insulation—another step closer to making a safe, affordable home a reality for a local family.

Thank you to The Lake County Community Foundation for organizing this terrific event for our community!
In partnership with the Vernon Area Public Library and GiveNKind, we hosted a successful Board Expo and Recruitment event last Wednesday! The event provided an excellent opportunity to learn about board appointment opportunities, the responsibilities of board membership and facilitate networking among attendees. Participating organizations, who are all looking to fill important positions on their boards, shared their missions, visions, and what they seek in potential board members. With a a fantastic turnout of 20 potential board candidates and 15 participating organizations, we greatly appreciate those who attended!

We are profoundly grateful to Schreiber Philanthropy for their recent grant to support our mission. This generous gift is a transformative investment in affordable homeownership and, most notably, our newly launched Critical Home Repair program. With their support, we look forward to expanding this vital program, allowing more individuals and families in Lake County to remain safely in their homes while also providing additional pathways to homeownership. Schreiber Philanthropy’s commitment to building better options for safe, affordable housing—particularly for those who have been historically denied access—is paving the way for a more inclusive and thriving community. With their support, we will continue to create opportunities for families to achieve the dream of homeownership, which empowers them to focus on education, career, and health, and lays the foundation for long-term success. Together, we’re making a lasting impact on our community, and building stronger, more vibrant neighborhoods where everyone has the chance to flourish! #Philanthropy #AffordableHousing #Homeownership #HabitatPartner #HabitatforHumanity #LakeCountyIL
