Building a Lasting Impact One Monthly Donation at a Time
By Scott Rawles, Director of Marketing and Development, Habitat for Humanity DeKalb
At Habitat for Humanity DeKalb, our mission to provide safe, affordable housing is fueled by the generosity of people who believe in creating a better community. One of the most effective ways to make an ongoing difference is by joining our Carpenter Club—Habitat DeKalb’s backbone donor program.
Carpenter Club members help provide us with a reliable stream of funding. This steady support enables us to plan ahead, ensuring that we can continue providing critical housing and repairs for families and individuals who need it most.
With monthly contributions of just $5, $10, or $20, Carpenter Club members help us build secure homes and strong futures for families throughout DeKalb County. Every donation, no matter the size, goes to work immediately, providing safe and dignified living conditions.
In addition to knowing that you’re making a significant impact, Carpenter Club members receive exclusive benefits:
- Hassle-free automatic donations
- End-of-year donation statements for easy tax reporting
- Monthly newsletters with updates on our work
- Invitations to home dedication ceremonies, where you can celebrate with Habitat homeowners
- A special surprise thank-you gift as a token of our appreciation
As a Carpenter Club member, you’re helping us build not only homes but also hope and opportunity. Together, we can create a community where everyone has a decent place to live. I invite you to join the Carpenter Club today and make a lasting impact on the lives of others. For more information or to sign up, visit our Carpenter Club page or contact us directly.
