The Habitat for Humanity of Grand County Board of Directors wishes to acknowledge and thank all of the people who made our recent fundraising effort a phenomenal success. We received donations from at least 65 members of our community and have raised over $185,000 in the process. We have been proud of what we have been able to accomplish in the past, but this kind of support from the community inspires and emboldens us to work even harder. We especially wish to acknowledge Bob and Kim Eck, and the Eck Family Foundation.

We also need to acknowledge the many local businesses that have provided aid to our organization. Their support allows us to accomplish so much more than would otherwise be possible. Some of the many businesses are: Granby Ace Hardware, City Market, Fraser Crane, Grand Lake Plumbing, Harms Excavating, US Bank, Church of the Eternal Hills, Maple Street Builders, KopyKat, and Power to the People.

It is heartwarming that even in difficult times, our community is willing to step up and provide support. These folks really do put the “Grand” in Grand County!

Thank you everyone!

Habitat could not build our houses without the generous support of our donors and funding agencies and of our dedicated volunteers.

Foundations, local governments and area churches provided funds without which we could not build our Habitat houses. Many thanks to those who supported us in 2013 and those who are supporting us as we build our 10th Habitat house.

Volunteers

Volunteers are the mainstay of a Habitat home building project. In 2009 construction volunteers gave over 1,400 hours of their time to build the house for the Nixon family. Five of our volunteers worked more than 80 hours each; another seven volunteered for more than 40 hours and six worked more than 30 hours.

Without these dedicated, hardworking volunteers it would not be possible to build a Habitat house. Thank you to each and every volunteer.

Most especially, we thank David Strate, our unpaid volunteer construction manager, who worked 2-3 days a week from April to November to build the 2009 house and completed all the initial bid work and planning for our 2010 house.

Lunch time

It is said that an army travels on its stomach. While we aren’t quite an army, we know that volunteers really need their lunches. Many, many thanks to the wonderful volunteers who prepared lunches and carted them out to the building site to feed our volunteers!
