ReStore Retail Hours Donation Hours: Donate a Vehicle to Habitat Did you know that the automobile is the most heavily recycled product? 94% of the metal in a car is recycled! When you donate a car to Cars for Homes™, Habitat’s car donation program, it is “recycled” to help families build homes. By donating a car to Habitat’s Cars for Homes™ car donation program, you help your local Habitat for Humanity affiliate build houses in partnership with families in need of decent, affordable shelter. It is quick and easy to donate cars, trucks, boats, RVs, motorcycles, construction equipment or other vehicles—running or not! Plus, when you donate your car, the automobile donation may be eligible for tax deduction purposes. (Consult the IRS or your tax adviser for details.)

$60,000 in 60 Days Campaign Moving Quickly Focusing on serving families, people’s lives impacted, and community needs met, Springfield/Eugene Habitat for Humanity is in the midst of its $60,000 in 60 Days Campaign to secure house sponsorship for the Case family home. Serena Case and her family are eager to begin construction of their home and Habitat doesn’t want to keep them waiting any longer. We have the lot; volunteers are ready and able to begin hammering. Now we are focusing on securing the funds to begin building. The UO Campus Chapter of Habitat for Humanity and the Board of Directors have joined together to launch this sponsor campaign. In their first event in the campaign, the Campus Chapter succeeded in raising over $13,000 toward the goal! Habitat’s first Breakfast Fundraiser will add greatly to that total. Designated individual contributions and potential grants are expected to help achieve the goal in time to begin work late this spring. Habitat supporters and sponsors know that too many in our community live in substandard housing and they want to do something about it. Decent and affordable housing helps replace and displace substandard housing. That helps improve the quality of life in our community and helps make the community more stable. Homeownership increases community participation. House Sponsors report that the team building and community service aspects of sponsoring a house have positive impacts on their life in the community. Habitat has been blessed in recent years by many business sponsors including currently committed sponsors Hamilton Construction, Eugene Celebration with its presenting sponsor Northwest Community Credit Union and added support from Jerry’s Home Improvement Center, and Levi’s. Other current group sponsors include Boy Scout Troop 100, The Chambers Family Foundation, and the Oregon Association of Realtors HOME Foundation. The City of Springfield HOME grant program is providing partial funding for each of the 10 houses being built in Meyer Estates – eight are completed to date. In the past three years we have had 15 churches as direct house sponsors. And our recent Women Build was supported by contributions from over 60 women in the community (and over 150 women builders of the house). Join the 60 in 60 campaign. Contribute today!
