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.
Through the generosity of volunteers, donors, and partners, we are turning dreams of homeownership into reality for families in need.

Our Mission
Putting God’s Love Into Action By Bringing People Together Building Homes & Hope.
Transforming Dorchester County One Home at a Time.
It takes roughly 2,000 volunteer hours to build a house and countless hours of behind-the-scenes work. You are needed as a volunteer on the construction site, at the ReStore, in Dorchester Habitat’s office, at special events, or as a board or committee member. If your busy schedule prevents you from giving of your time or talents, your treasure is welcome!

“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.”
