Make a Difference With Just $67!

Athens Area Habitat for Humanity is able to build a 3-bedroom, single-family house for $67,000... a daunting amount in this economy for one person or organization to donate. However, if 1,000 people came together and gave just $67, they could change another family's life forever. That's the idea behind the Committee of 1,000... bringing power to the individual donation.

Won't you consider joining this esteemed group of individuals this holiday season? For more information, contact our Public Outreach Director at 706-208-1001 ext. 202 or pr@athenshabitat.com.
