In honor of the 30th Anniversary of Sisters Habitat for Humanity, the Habitat Board of Directors, donor Melanie Nelson, and an anonymous donor, have teamed up with a pledge to match all donations made by December 31 up to $30,000.

The funds will help Habitat continue to build homes in 2022. Over the past 30 years, Sisters Habitat has partnered with 74 families to provide housing stability and self-reliance. Families provide “sweat-equity” in support for habitat for Humanity as a contribution to the organization’s work. Family partners help with the transition into home ownership.

Despite the slowdown due to COVID-19, in 2021 Sisters Habitat will have built and sold four new homes plus one home bought back from a previous Habitat family.

Plans for 2022 include:

Completing the remodel of the buy-back home.

Completing two new homes in the ClearPine neighborhood.

Starting two new homes in the Village Meadows neighborhood.

One hundred percent of donations to meet the match will go directly to our home building program. Donate securely online or mail: P.O. Box 238, Sisters, OR 97759.
