HFH of York County is one of 38 affiliates in South Carolina and one of 1,557 affiliates nationwide of Habitat for Humanity International which was founded in Americus, GA by Millard Fuller in 1976. HFH was made nationally known when joined by President Jimmy Carter. We adhere to the Habitat philosophy of building homes in partnership with people in need. HFH International provides us with advice and support services, but all decisions as to how we operate and carry out the Habitat philosophy are made locally by our own Board of Directors. Our funds come from local individuals, churches, foundations, corporations, businesses and other non-governmental organizations.
All contributions are tax deductible.
We accept contributions of money, land and in-kind donations. Donations should be sent to our local address if you intend for them to be used in York County. The low price is attained by the gifts of volunteer labor, donated materials and professional labor as needed. The families own the houses. The monthly payment includes escrow for insurance and real estate taxes.
