A Brush With Kindness
A Brush of Kindness (ABWK) is a home renovation program that helps keep families in affordable and decent homes when they are having a difficult time keeping up with required maintenance.
We are now accepting applications for ABWK for the 2010 season. Please stop by our office or call 605-692-5601 for more information!
Address Database
Some of you have received multiple copies of our newsletter and other mailings from the Brookings Area Habitat for Humanity office. Thank you for bringing this problem to our attention. One of the projects that office volunteers are currently working on is a new Excel database to eliminate these multiples. Excel provides the capability to sort records alphabetically so it will be easier to identify duplicates. Since the database is a work in progress please continue to notify the office (692-5601) if you receive multiple copies of any correspondence from us.
mission & history
Brookings Area Habitat for Humanity Mission Statement
God's people building homes for families in need.
Since 1995 our local affiliate has built simple, decent affordable housing in partnership with 121 very low-income families. Habitat is not a giveaway program. Homeowners invest hundreds of hours of their own labor -- sweat equity -- into building their Habitat house and they pay a no-profit, no-interest mortgage.
Office Location!
We are located in a house at the north end of the parking lot of First Lutheran Church. The address is 321 9th Street!
Volunteers Needed!
We are in need of volunteers on our new construction sites, ABWK, and at the ReStore, the need is especially great on weekdays. Please visit our Volunteer page to find out more!
