| There are many ways
you can help Seattle
Habitat for Humanity
fulfill its mission of
providing low-income
housing within the
community, and receive
tax benefits in return. Most of you have
considered the donation
of building materials,
construction skills,
services and money.
But would you
consider a
donation of
property to be
used as a building
site?
Real property donations
can save Seattle Habitat
for Humanity a lot of
money and time, thus
keeping the total home
costs down. We already
save by using volunteer
labor, donated materials
& money, however land
is vital to carrying out our
mission.
You can help. If the idea
of donating real property,
either now or through
your estate, appeals to
you, please call Arlene or
Linda at 292-5240.
| Seattle Habitat could not
continue building
affordable homes if it
were not for the many
donations of building and
office supplies. Through
our agreement with
Second Use Building
Supplies, SHfH benefits
from donations made of
a variety of building
materials. Direct
donations of building
materials are also
welcome. Since we do
not yet have a warehouse
of our own, we often
must direct these
generous donations to
Second Use. We are
hoping to have our own
warehouse space in the
very near future. With new staff and more
volunteers in the office,
our need for computers
and related materials has
been high. Our special
thanks go out to
Adolfson & Associates
and NBBJ for the
donated computers and
to Autodesk for a
donated copy of
AutoCad
software. A big thanks
goes to Pioneer
Reprographics for their
help in copying drawings
that are too large for our
copier. Also our
enormous thanks to the
Sisters of Providence
and Greater Puget Sound
Apartment Guide for
equipping our office with
desks, chairs, office
supplies and helping with
layout design.
