Our community has demonstrated generosity by serving our mission to overcome substandard housing. Volunteers contribute thousands of hours each year. Bring along your willing attitude and we will provide you with all of the tools and training you need! Every volunteer makes a difference.
Together we have also been able to build ramps for people with disabilities and make improvements to the safety of existing homes so that more people can remain self-reliant in their own home.
​homeowner
Each and every day, people partner with Habitat for Humanity to offer families strength, stability, and self-reliance through shelter. Through this partnership, each family has the opportunity to build and purchase their own decent home with an affordable mortgage. When future homeowners are surrounded and supported by determined volunteers and generous donors, a future full of opportunity is built.
I believe purchasing an affordable home is a stabilizing factor for our communities in Southeast Iowa and provides social and financial benefits for persons and families who have purchased a home through Habitat for Humanity."

Thousands ​of

Each year, thousands of volunteers selflessly put in around 16,000 hours of service on our local build sites, in our ReStore, serving on our Board, on committees, as office interns, hosting fundraising events, providing snacks for volunteers and advocating for affordable housing.
Iowa City ReStore Builds Habitat Homes
Proceeds from sales in the Iowa City ReStore help fund the Iowa Valley Habitat for Humanity mission. Since 2005, the Iowa City ReStore has partnered with the community to provide funding for the construction of 10 Habitat homes.
We couldn't do it without hundreds of volunteers like Arden (pictured above).
