Donate

If you would like to donate to our local chapter, you can make an online credit card payment using Habitat for Humanity International's secure website: Donate to Jackson-Union County Habitat for Humanity. 100% of this donation will go to our local chapter.

Whereas Habitat for Humanity International can afford to send you future solicitations along with notepads, calendars, greeting cards, or teddy bears, your LOCAL chapter of Habitat cannot afford to do so. We use your donations to build houses or for our Minor Repairs Program and they go directly to help families in Jackson and Union Counties.

If you wish to contribute directly to our LOCAL group, you may send a check or money order payable to "Jackson-Union County HFH" to the following address:

Jackson-Union County HFH
P.O. Box 1064
Carbondale, IL 62903-1064

Please designate that the donation is "For Local Use". Thank You!

If you have any questions regarding donations, please contact us using this email, juchabitat618@gmail.com or call 618-713-4958.


Our local Habitat is a 100% volunteer group, including our Board members. Funding to build each Habitat home comes from the mortgages being paid by previous homeowners. As construction costs have increased, we are seeking a higher level of funding from donations so that we may keep the mortgages within an affordable range for our homeowners. We were pleased with our spring fundraising efforts but we are still running a little short. Please help us fill that gap.

We greatly appreciate the help we receive from Habitat Int'l partners like Dow, Whirlpool, Larson, Hunter Douglas, and York. But we appreciate the donations from local and small businesses and individuals because we know they will "feel" the donation more than a big corporation might. We also appreciate that they are partnering with us to invest in our community. Some of these are recent partners and others are from the past several years. Some donations are larger than others but ALL are appreciated.
