Support Habitat's
Efforts in Haiti
Habitat for Humanity International is addressing the shelter
solutions for low-income families affected by the 7.0 magnitude
earthquake that struck Haiti on January 12, 2010.
At this time, Habitat is not sending volunteers
to Haiti. If you are interested in helping Haiti rebuild,
take the Haiti
volunteer interest survey. This survey will collect
your demographic and basic skills information, and will
sign you up for a periodic e-mail with updates regarding
Habitat's response in Haiti.
Please join us to help support Haiti by texting
'Habitat' to 25383 to make a $10 donation to Habitat's efforts
in Haiti. The donation amount will be added to your phone
bill. You can also click here

Habitat Completes
'Green' Build
Habitat for Humanity Quad Cities recently
completed its first 'green' home. House #61 
meets
the reqirements of the National Homebuilders' Association
green construction guidelines.
The home features blown-in insulation, Energy
Star doors and windows, rain gardens, and a tankless water
heater. During the construction led by volunteers Dan Mizner
and Thomas Leitch, green practices were also used, including
using a chipper to turn scrap wood into landscaping mulch.
The house, sponsored by the Scott County Housing
Council, East Davenport Development Corporation, Wells Fargo,
and Group O, is now home to the Medrano family.
