From our Building the Future Legacy Society Members:

Brian & Becky Lucas

“When volunteering with Habitat, you tend to think about what matters most. There is no place we’d rather be than serving on a Habitat worksite, locally as well as globally. Because Habitat is part of our life story, we chose to make a Legacy gift that provides an opportunity to families who are working toward their independence.”

Mitch & Michelle Hutchcraft

“Families are such a special focus of ours, and since housing is so fundamentally important to ensuring safety, opportunity, health and educational attainment for our fellow humans, we thought that’s where we should leave a significant portion of our wealth.”
