You’re Invited to Partner with Habitat DeKalb

Join a mission that ensures everyone has a safe, decent place to live.

The Carpenter Club is Habitat DeKalb’s monthly giving program supporting our Senior Home Repair efforts. Your monthly gift helps make critical repairs possible for homeowners like Rebecca.

Rebecca, a longtime homeowner on a fixed income, struggled to keep up with costly repairs—until Habitat DeKalb stepped in. Thanks to community support, her plumbing was fixed, grab bars were installed, and a new ramp now helps her move safely in and out of her home. “Thank you, thank you, thank you!” she says. “My home is in better shape now, and I’m so relieved.”

By joining The Carpenter Club, you’re not just giving—you’re helping neighbors like Rebecca live with dignity and peace of mind.

Shirley

Shirley has lived in her Atlanta-area home for 17 years. She struggled getting in and out of her home using the concrete steps. Habitat volunteers built a ramp for her.

Now in her late 60s, Shirley can remain independent in her home.
