The family-owned convenience store chain Kum & Go announced it is kicking off its annual in-store fundraising campaign supporting Habitat for Humanity International.
Habitat for Humanity’s long-term impact on communities is on full display in Oak Cliff Gardens, a neighborhood of 400 homes in the larger area of East Oak Cliff in Dallas, Texas.
A do-it-yourself project doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive — just take it from a DIY expert who transformed gently used materials from a Habitat ReStore into something new.
During the month of April, more than 400 Kum & Go locations engaged store associates and encouraged customers to donate to Habitat at checkout, which raised more than $547,000.
Retiree John Harris continued to volunteer at Habitat Hall County ReStore during his cancer treatment. “I believe that Habitat gave me a mission to be healthy.”
Schneider Electric is renewing its long-standing partnership with Habitat and will contribute nearly $800,000 in monetary donations along with electrical equipment to help Habitat families reduce their utility costs.
Habitat for Humanity International and a host of its corporate partners are working together to help make affordable homeownership a reality for more families in the U.S. and around the world.
Habitat for Humanity’s history and scope of work may surprise you. From an old chicken barn to serving more than 29 million families over 40 years, we have a lot of stories to share.
