Become a supporter

By volunteering, you are impacting IVHFH, the community, and most importantly, the family who can now afford a home of their own. However, in order to build each house, we have to first raise the necessary funds to build the home. Please consider becoming a supporter and donating today. Every contribution makes a difference and goes to pay for the home you will have a hand in building during your volunteer shift. Join us in building hope, building homes, and building lives.
