2018 NONPROFIT OF THE YEAR
Habitat for Humanity was founded in Americus, Georgia in 1976 in recognition of poverty housing. Millard & Linda Fuller saw this and thought, “People should not have to live like this.” They began with the idea to eliminate poverty housing worldwide, thus the name Habitat for Humanity International, of which our local affiliate emerged in 1988. Habitat for Humanity of Owensboro-Daviess County celebrates their 30th Anniversar y this year, as well as their 135th house! Call (270) 926-6110 to volunteer.
