Habitat for Humanity of the Northern Flint Hills

Goal: $50,000.00

Specific Need

Your donation will help us cover the gap in our funding service. Whether it is supporting our new construction costs or covering gaps in our repair services, Your donation will allow us to ensure that we are able to maximize our impact and cover those projects that may be falling through normal funding gaps. At a minimum, we need to maximize Grow Green Match Day by maxing out the 50% match up to $20,000 to grow our endowed fund at the Greater Manhattan Community Foundation. 

Mission

Our vision is a world where everyone has a decent place to live.

Seeking to put God’s love into action, Habitat for Humanity brings people together to build homes, communities and hope. 

Profile

Hear from Executive Director Josh Brewer

Our Habitat for Humanity affiliate was founded in 1994 by a group of Manhattan, Kansas citizens concerned about the lack of affordable housing in the area. Our first home was built in 1996 and since then we have completed 32 homes and since our repair program was started 5 years ago we have repaired over 100 homes. We are excited to continue our work in the Northern Flint Hills and on Grow Green Match Day you have the opportunity to contribute to that future!

We could not do our work without community support and Grow Green Match Day is an opportunity for your donation to go further with a 50% match on donations between $25-100! Join us to reach our goal of $50,000 and be a part of creating decent and affordable housing in your community.
