Committee of 1,000

Join today to attend the Committee of 1,000 Celebration on January 28, 2010. The evening will bring together an esteemed group of Habitat supporters with live entertainment and catering by Trumps.

Right now more families than ever before are in need of decent housing. Athens Area Habitat is dedicated to serving these families and empowering them with the dream of homeownership, but we can't do it without you. As a non-profit, we depend not only on business partners for support, but also the generous giving by individuals within the community. Your support gives hope to families like the Henson's, a newly accepted Habitat family of a grandmother, mother, and one year old child who live in a house with no running water, no inside bathroom, and no heat. Thanks to the efforts of the community supporting our mission, the Henson Family will have a decent, affordable place to call home. With your help, this dream can be realized for many more families in our community.

The Committee of 1,000 is an opportunity to bring together individuals within the community to make a difference in the lives of a family in need.

This year Athens Area Habitat is proud to announce that we began construction on our first ever Committee of 1,000 home. This home is partially funded by the efforts of our dedicated 2008 and 2009 Committee of 1,000 supporters.

It is important to realize that the Rahming Family home was made possible by the members of the Committee of 1,000. Membership funds directly contributed to Athens Area Habitat’s ability to provide a decent, affordable place for Diala Rahming and her four girls to call home.

Please take this opportunity to join an esteemed group of Habitat supporters by giving $65 today. You will receive a window sticker in recognition of your valuable support. We encourage you to display your membership sticker proudly and act as a representative of our organization within the community. As a new member, you will also be invited to attend the annual Committee of 1,000 Celebration in January 2010.

Special thanks to our 2009 members:
