Welcome to Habitat for Humanity of Northern Fox Valley’s home page.  We are a locally run affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International, a nonprofit, home building organization.

 

Our Mission

We build homes in the northern portion of Kane County for families in need who cannot qualify for a conventional mortgage.  Our partner families work along side our volunteer labor force in the construction of their home.  Once completed, the homes are sold to the family at no profit and the families are provided with a zero interest mortgage. 

HFHNFV to begin our 20 Projects for20 Years,

anniversary and community service year.

2010 marks our 20th year of service.  We will complete 20 projects in 2010 either rehabs, new construction or though our 'A Brush with Kindness' program. To help us celebrate, partake in refreshments, and to see how you can support this major effort, join us on March 4 at ReStore in Elgin from 5 to 7 PM.  (For details on ReStore, our discount home improvement center and directions, follow this link.)

volunteering: get Involved

The driving force behind the organization is its volunteers— those who contribute a day, a week, a few months, to give Habitat’s vision a tangible form.  Help build, serve on a committee or at the ReStore, assist in fundraising events, donate materials. 

To learn more about volunteering, including some of our critical needs,  click here, or attend one of our orientations.  Orientations are the first and third Saturdays of each month  at 10:00 AM at our ReStore facility located at 800 North State in Elgin (Rt. 31, one mile south of   I-90).  For detailed directions, go to our ReStore Hours and Location page.
