Building Plans and Volunteer calendar now online!

Interested in how the Faith for Fifty home will look? Check out the building plans now available online. See links on the right. The Volunteer calendar schedule is also available.

Now, you know what they say, "If you don't like the weather, wait 10 minutes and it will change". We're hoping for a string of beautiful days for the blitz build, but if the weather changes, the construction schedule might change to. We'll do our best to update the schedule.

Happy Labor Day weekend!

Groundbreaking and Meeting Re-Cap

"I just want to thank Habitat and everyone here for making this possible."- Joe Cool on his family becoming a Habitat partner.

The ground was blessed, the shovels were distributed, and the Faith for Fifty build has begun. Soon, the slab foundation will be poured and framing will begin. To see more photos of the groundbreaking, click here.


Churches taking part in this build will soon be receiving packets with sign up sheets for volunteers, and volunteer information. Some of the information is available on this page in .pdf format.

This week's Faith for Fifty Meeting resulted in finalizing plans for the "Ready, Set, Putt" mini-golf fund-raiser at Sycamore Mall October 6-7. Those wanting to sponsor a hole should contact Joan Huntley at 319-337-8949, with many sponsorship levels available. Mini-golf holes will be placed throughout the Mall offering sponsors high-visibility while they support Habitat's home building efforts. Patrons wishing to play can now register for Saturday Play or register for Sunday Play with the touch of a mouse! Not playing? Please consider simply donating online.
