Our Mission
To work towards the elimination of poverty housing and homelessness in York County and to stir the hearts and minds of others to take action on this issue by adhering to several principles.

Board of Directors/Committees
Habitat for Humanity offers many opportunities to volunteer. Under the thoughtful leadership of the Board of Directors and various committees, Habitat for Humanity York County has developed a plan for sustained growth.

The Board is currently in search of volunteers interested in the positions of secretary and treasurer. Interested persons must attend two meetings per month and the treasurer should have a wokring knowledge of Quickbooks. If you are interested in either of these positions, please contact us at 985-4850 or office@habitatyorkcounty.org .

Annual Report
Habitat for Humanity York County publishes an Annual Report each January.

Blitz Build 2008

It went so well the first time that we decided to do it again! Blitz Build 2008 will take place May 31st-June 7th on the Gebung Road in Alfred. The Family Selection Committee is currently interviewing families who submitted applications for consideration. Douston Construction is leading the coordination on this project and they have teamed up with skilled local subcontractors to produce a top-quality home. Habitat for Humanity York County is very excited to team up with Douston to produce our 23rd home.

Check back over the next few weeks for more details about the project.

Blitz Build 2006

Habitat for Humanity York County dedicated its 20th home on June 11, 2006. More than 50 family members, friends, and supporters came out to celebrate the completion of the home for the Peverill Family and the culmination of a blur of building a home in only one week.

What does Habitat for Humanity mean to its partner families?

Habitat for Humanity provides a hand up not a hand out, but its meaning is best expressed by the partner families who are directly impacted by its mission.

York County Habitat celebrates 20 years of Building on Faith

On October 1, 2005, HfHYC celebrated twenty years of volunteer service to our communities with a celebrity build and picnic in Biddeford. Senator Richard Nass, Representative Joan Nass, U.S. Representative Tom Allen, and Sharon Rose from WCSH 6 wielded hammers along with other volunteers on our River Road project. Following the work session, everyone enjoyed a picnic lunch catered by Bill Dunn of Lemon Tree Caterers. HfHYC founder, Miles Freeman, was honored for his dedication to Habitat's mission.
