Families served.
Futures strengthened.

Because of you, and the generous matching gift from Dr. Robert & Mrs. Sammye Blackard, our community raised over $122,000. Hope built right here in Dorchester County.

We believe in a world where everyone has a decent place to live.

Our Impact

Together, We Build

Volunteer Hours

Building a home takes 2,000 hours of construction volunteer hours, equating to $70,000 in labor savings.

Sweat Equity Hours

Each homeowner contributes 425 hours of sweat equity before their home’s foundation is even poured.

Counseling Sessions

Each applicant receives complimentary financial coaching to learn budgeting, saving, and mortgage management.

“It gets more exciting everyday seeing the progress from start to finish. The best part is teaming up with a wonderful group of people who are just as excited as I am. When I first came into Habitat for Humanity ReStore I didn’t know what to expect. It was a barrier that I broke through because I promised my kids that I would provide a home for them. When they see how hard I work, they do things to help me like wash dishes or sweep up and I’m so proud that they recognize my strength. I just want to see them smile when they walk into our home.”
