DONATIONS

We spend approximately $85,000 to complete one of our houses. A majority of that money is derived from donations and fund raising events. We do not accept government funds for the construction of homes so your donations are critical to the completion of our mission. All donations are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law.

There are two ways to donate - by check and online with a credit card. Checks should be made payable to Habitat for Humanity Chicago South Suburbs (or just HFHCSS) and mailed to: 139 Joe Orr Road - 2nd Floor, Chicago Heights, IL 60411.

In Netscape browsers, versions 4 and higher: The padlock in the lower left corner of your browser window will be closed (locked) instead of open (unlocked). You also can click the "Security" button in your browser's toolbar; a pop-up window will confirm, "This page was encrypted."
In Netscape browsers, version 3: The lower left corner of your browser window will show a solid key with a blue background instead of a broken key with a grey background.
