Carpenters Club

"But I'm not a carpenter..." you might say.

Webster's definition of a carpenter is "...one who builds and repairs wooden things, especially buildings."

Habitat's definition of a Carpenters Club member is one who supports the building and repair of simple decent housing for those in need by making a commitment to contribute every month to insure a regular source of funds for building supplies and administrative expenses.

One of the challenges to running a successful Habitat affiliate is to ensure that there is adequate cash flow year round to support building. The average Habitat home costs over $60,000 in building materials and excavation work.
