Funding Needed for Next Habitat House

We are currently looking for individuals, groups and businesses that might be interested in making donations of money, building materials, land, or labor to our local affiliate to help fund Habitat homes in the Lake City/Columbia County area.

The State of Florida, in 1980, initiated the Community Contribution Tax Credit Program (CCTCP). This program provides Florida businesses, which make contributions to an approved project, an opportunity to apply for a tax credit or sales tax refund equal to 50% of the value of their contribution against their Florida Corporate income Tax, Florida insurance Premium Tax or Sales and Use Tax. As an approved sponsor for this program, we are seeking partner businesses that are interested in making donations to our local affiliate to help build our next Habitat home.

If you know of any businesses, individuals, or groups that might be interested in making a donation, please contact George Burnham, Chairman of the Fundraising Committee, by email or at 386-590-0800 with their contact information (phone #, email, etc.).

Cars for Homes

Here's your chance to do "Ultimate Spring Cleaning" and benefit Lake City/Columbia County Habitat for Humanity at the same time. Forget the house - look in your garage and yard (and your neighbors' yards) for the treasures.

Habitat for Humanity's Cars for HomesTM is a national program that recycles used cars, trucks, boats, RVs, motorcycles, construction equipment or other vehicles to raise funds for HFH home construction. Running or not, your old treasures can be put to good use through this program.

Donors simply call the Cars for HomesTM number (877)277-HFHI (4344) or visit www.carsforhomes.org to donate vehicles. Accepted vehicles are sold through wholesale auctions, salvage yards, and automotive recyclers. Donors are sent an acknowledgement from HFHI and all the forms required by the IRS regulations. Net proceeds and donor contact information generated by the donations are disbursed to HFH affiliates, based on the zip code of the donor. These are unrestricted funds to help build homes in partnership with local families in need of decent, affordable shelter.
