Habitat Interfaith Build
 
We are getting closer to another Interfaith Build for Habitat. Costs have gone up pretty dramatically.  It now takes $100,000 in donations to assign a house to a new homeowner and start a build.  The actual cost of building a Habitat Home is over $165,000. 
 
We have successfully built 12 Interfaith homes over the past 12 years. We are in need of another $25,000 to start our next house.  Each of the faith partners in the Interfaith build is helping to raise the final piece for this next house.
 
Donating is easy – just go the the Habitat website: https://evansvillehabitat.org/
Click on “Donate Now” and under where it sats “Where can we designate your gift” choose “Interfaith Build.”
On the next screen under “Donor Note” just mention that you are a TABI member.
 
Thanks for your help in this always important partnership between TABI and Habitat.
