Give the Gift of Firsts

We all remember our FIRSTS.
Our first kiss . . .
Our first job . . .
OUR FIRST HOME.

Do you remember the feelings you had when you purchased your first home? The excitement of signing the papers and getting the keys. Driving up to the house,walking through the front doors with dreams of all the possibilities. Where will you put the couch? What color will you paint the walls? Do you remember your first holiday in your new home? Finding the perfect spot for the Christmas tree. The family and friends you invited to sit around the dining table. The aroma of the meal you cooked. The laughter filling the house.

Because of our community’s support, Habitat for Humanity La Crosse Area has been able to give the Klatte family their FIRST home.

So many others in our community DREAM of being homeowners. For many, this FIRST is completely out of reach. The rising cost of buying a home means more and more hard-working families just can’t afford it. This year, Habitat for Humanity received 31 applications for two homes we will be renovating in La Crosse. We selected two very happy and excited families, but this mean the dream has been denied for 29 others.
Give the Gift of HOPE to other families in need by making a donation to Habitat for Humanity La Crosse Area today.

In Support of Habitat for Humanity of the Greater La Crosse Region

At Habitat, we envision a Coulee Region with ample, quality housing options and healthy, sustainable communities for all. We believe that decent, affordable housing should be a matter of conscience and action; we realize that there are people in our community who are living in inadequate conditions and that joining together we can provide a hand up – not a hand out. Our values are as follows.

Committed to reuse and environmental sustainability: We believe healthy land and water are essential to a sense of home and belonging. Sustainable practices are embedded in our programs.

Rooted in faith in community: We honor the traditions and values of our founders, and we respect the needs and challenges of our local community as we together seek solutions for affordable housing.

Driven to innovate: We believe our mission calls us to be creative in our work. We look for fresh solutions and partnerships to solve the problems facing our community.

Called to advocate: We demand forward-thinking from our elected officials and work to keep the critical need for quality, affordable housing at the forefront of policy makers’ minds.
