You Can Provide Strength and Stability

Like many communities across the country, Kent County has a severe shortage of affordable housing. Neighborhoods are changing rapidly. Families are living in overcrowded or unaffordable housing. You can help strengthen neighborhoods so that the children who live in Kent County can grow up with a sense of stability and self-determination that will carry them through the rest of their lives.

When you give to Habitat Kent you are building more than four walls. A home is a safe place to grow up. A home is a foundation to build a future. A home can change lives. Join us in building a community where every family has a chance for a better tomorrow.

Can I donate something other than money?

Certainly! Habitat Kent is always in need of materials, services and land for our building projects. These gifts-in-kind keep construction costs low and homeowner mortgages affordable. See above to learn more about donating gifts-in-kind.

You can also donate building supplies and home improvement items—everything from tools to appliances to furniture—at our Habitat ReStores. Your ReStore donations will be sold to the public at discount prices and proceeds will support our home builds. Click here to learn more about ReStore.

What percentage of my gift actually funds Habitat houses?

We’re committed to using your gift to support our mission. ReStore revenue and mortgage payments support our admin and fundraising costs, so every penny of every dollar donated goes directly to building homes, communities, and hope.

Is my gift tax-deductible?

Yes, we send an acknowledgement letter for each gift received with the information needed to claim a deduction on your tax return.

Can I donate towards a specific house or project?

Yes. When you donate, you can designate your gift for a particular special build or initiative such as Women Build, Catholic United Build, or Habitat Kent’s Veteran Program.

Group Interest Survey

  • Habitat for Humanity of Kent County provides a variety of volunteer opportunities which can vary depending on the group size, age restrictions, season and general availability. Construction opportunities are full day commitments. Should you prefer a partial day activity or volunteers to work in shifts you will be scheduled for specific tasks or in one of our 3 ReStore locations.
  • Age restrictions apply to certain projects and will be enforced. Most tasks require volunteers to be at least 16 years old. Specific jobs may allow other ages. These restrictions will be indicated by a member of the volunteer services department when a date is offered.
  • Please acknowledge that you understand groups may not be confirmed until 30-60 DAYS PRIOR TO THE DATE AGREED UPON by our volunteer services department. Due to the volume of requests for volunteer opportunities, we will ask that you agree/disagree to the date we offer within a week’s time (unless otherwise noted in our email). This ensures we can look for an alternative date if necessary and place you within a timely fashion.
  • After the completed form is submitted expect to be contacted by a member of our volunteer services department within one week.
