T.E.A.M.
Building Days
This program is ideal for local businesses looking for
opportunities to get their employees out of the office! They can support
a build project with a workday (weekday or weekend) for their employees,
while building team morale and enthusiasm by making a positive impact in
our community. Team building exercises are provided along with lunch,
photographs, and a great day helping a local family achieve the dream of
homeownership. Donation required to purchase building materials is
$100/employee (minimum of 8 participants). See the
T.E.A.M. Building
Days Brochure (PDF 180kb).
Memorial
and In-Honor Gifts
We accept donations through gifts in honor or memory of loved ones. We
send an acknowledgment card to the individual and the family, informing
them of your gift.
Gifts-in-Kind
Putnam County Habitat for Humanity welcomes your gifts-in-kind. Several
area businesses partner with PCHFH by providing donated building
materials or labor. This is a great way to support our ministry. These
gifts can be in the form of goods or services. Please contact the office
if you have goods or services to provide on an in-kind basis. You may
not realize it but every Habitat for Humanity home in the U.S. is
provided a refrigerator and range FREE courtesy of the
Whirlpool
Corporation. Other national donors that benefit our local Partner
Families include
Larson Doors, Yale
Locks, and
Hunter-Douglas blinds.
Land
Putnam County Habitat for Humanity is always on the lookout for
potential building sites for homes. If you have land that you believe is
appropriate for Habitat for Humanity, please contact the office.
Covenant Partnerships
Families, area churches, businesses, and organizations that join us as a
Covenant Partner are an essential part of our ministry. We work together
to break the cycle of poverty. Becoming a Covenant Partner requires
financial and labor support to assist in building a home. Read more
about Covenant
Partnerships.
Adopt-A-Lot
This program allows individuals and corporations an opportunity to
become a “friend” of Putnam County Habitat for Humanity by “adopting a
lot” at a cost of $5,000. The money helps offset the total cost of an
improved lot (ready to build on). The Adopt-A-Lot program is also a
wonderful way to honor a loved one.
Apostles
Build
Be one of twelve churches or organizations to help provide an affordable
home by providing a twelfth of the funds and labor necessary to build
the home through this annual build project. More information is
available in the Apostles Build
Brochure (PDF 172kb).
Planned
Gifts
Many faithful supporters who hammer and paint and give financial gifts
wish they could give even more, but feel there is just no more room in
the family budget. With a little creativity, planned giving can allow
these generous partners to make larger gifts than they had ever thought
possible. And with careful planning, results can include increased
retirement income; reduced income taxes, capital gains taxes and estate
taxes; and a legacy of decent houses for those in need. Opportunities
include leaving a gift in your will, gifts of stock, gift annuities,
life insurance policies and others.
Wish List
In addition to the general support for house building and
administration, some very specific needs have been identified. The
Wish List contains a list of specific items
that you might already have or might like to purchase and donate.
Although we try to keep this list current, please contact the office
before you purchase an item on the Wish List.
Other ways you
can help
- Arrange for a PCHFH speaker at your church, business, or civic
club meeting.
- Sponsor lunches for work groups and
Habitat 101 presentations.

- Prayer is powerful and we can never have too many individuals

Habitat for Humanity Prayer Partner and we will send a 31 day Prayer
Guide to assist you!
