50 Bridge Builders. 50 Years of Habitat.
Will You Be One?
This year, Habitat for Humanity celebrates 50 years of building homes, communities, and hope. To honor that milestone, Lakes Area Habitat for Humanity is inviting 50 people to become Bridge Builders — monthly donors who bridge the gap between a family’s dream and the moment they open their own front door.
We need 50. We’re counting on you.
What is a Bridge Builder?
What Does It Mean to Be a Bridge Builder?
A Bridge Builder is a monthly donor — someone whose consistent, recurring gift makes it possible for Lakes Area Habitat to plan ahead, serve more families, and build more homes right here in our community.
One-time gifts are wonderful. But monthly giving is transformative. It means we can count on the resources we need month after month, year after year — without interruption.
When you become a Bridge Builder, you’re not just making a donation. You’re making a commitment to our neighbors. And that changes everything.
Impact by the Numbers
Your Monthly Gift at Work:
| Your Gift | What It Makes Possible |
| $25/month | Covers the cost of materials for a full day of building |
| $50/month | Funds a volunteer work day on-site |
| $100/month | Provides critical home repair materials for a family in need |
| $250/month | Helps cover closing costs so a family can move in |
Every gift – at any level – moves us forward. Choose the amount that’s right for you.
