Habitat International has challenged all US affiliates to each raise $3,000 towards their goal of $60 - $80 million goal to help families affected by the Jan. 12th earthquake in Haiti.
Haiti, the poorest nation in the Western Hemisphere, suffered a magnitude-7.0 earthquake on Jan 12th, causing many deaths and massive property damage.
Habitat for Humanity has been in Haiti for 26 years, to serve low-income families in need of shelter. Now more than ever, we need your support. Habitat staff in Haiti needs support to take on the pressing tasks involved in cleaning up debris, acquiring and distributing construction materials and tools, and constructing transitional shelter that can help families achieve a stable home life.
Our worldwide experience in post-disaster reconstruction, disaster mitigation and long-term development has shown us time and again that people like you are willing to open their hearts to families who are suffering and in desperate need of housing solutions.
Habitat for Humanity of Greater Baton Rouge is committed to raising funds to help our friends in Haiti. We hope you can join us.
HOW YOU CAN HELP.......
• This month on Chinn Street and in Rosewood, we will be accepting monetary donations for Haiti. Please consider helping the Haitian people through Habitat Haiti.
• Visit the Baton Rouge Habitat ReStore, during the month of March. A portion of all profit from this month will be donated to Habitat Haiti.
• Give now through our secure online contributions.

Habitat for Humanity North Baton Rouge is well underway. Six of our nine homes on Chinn St. are under construction!! Habitat for Humanity of Greater Baton Rouge with the help of Mayor-President Kip Holden, the Metro Council, and the Office of Community Development, was awarded $1 million from HUD to develop vacant land and build nine homes for low income families in north Baton Rouge on Chinn Street. Come out and help Buidl it!
Mayor- President Holden helped raise this first wall for this new subdivision with four homeowners.
LSU junior, Rie Kuplic puts her faith into action every Saturday on the construction site. Rie has spent hundreds of hours on the Habitat construction site helping build many homes for Habitat families. Rie believes, "without action faith is dead." When asked why she comes out to Habitat she said, "what better way to help your neighbor than to build a safe place for their families to grow." Rie also said she continues to come out to Habitat because of the people she has met both partner families and volunteers.
