Dear City of Elk River:
I know you have received a thank you letter from our Habitat Service Center, but I wanted to personally
thank you for your gift to Habitat. You are one of our most generous supporters, and your contribution
is the reason our ministry is able to grow, serving more and more families each year.
Your donation helps Habitat build our homes, but you must know, that your support reaches far beyond
the house structures. Your gift transforms Habitat homeowner lives forever. For example, our first
homeowner, Amy, shared with us that both of her children have completed their undergraduate college
education and are now pursuing post graduate studies. No one else her in family had ever gone to col-
lege. Amy says that Habitat provided the stability for her to be able to focus on her children's education
and futures. Habitat homeownership changed the lives of Amy's children, and it will impact future gen-
erations as well.
I started volunteering for Habitat because I was inspired by Habitat's mission of working with low-
income families, of providing homeownership opportunities to individuals who have no other means of
owning their own home. I am continually inspired by the community's support of Habitat, and that sup-
port is you.
Thank you again for contributing to Central Minnesota Habitat for Humanity. If you have any questions
or if you would like to visit with us on a more personal level, please contact our Habitat Service Center
at 320-656-8890. y~:~
