Donate to Pastor Kent Johnson or Steve O'Malley for the Bike.Build.Home 500 annual bike ride!
Bike.Build.Home 500 was organized in 2023 to continue the fine traditions of the Habitat 500 bike ride, which was previously coordinated by Habitat for Humanity Minnesota. In its 30-year history, bike riders raised over $7 million to build affordable homes. The BBH 500 steering committee includes past Habitat 500 riders, volunteers, and committee members. BBH 500 hopes to mobilize the nearly-all-volunteer spirit of the original Habitat 500, updating it with what we have learned from Habitat Minnesota.
The BBH 500 Steering Committee meets regularly viz Zoom, so anyone can be a part of this important process from the comfort of your own home or office. Any and all assistance is appreciated! The 2025 Local Host Planning Committee meets monthly via Microsoft Teams.
To contact either committee, email us at info.BBH500@gmail.com.
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.
