Disaster Response

Our thoughts and prayers are with the people of Oklahoma and Texas as their lives and communities were devastated by tornadoes.

Your gift today will help families recover and rebuild in the aftermath of the destruction. Lancaster Area Habitat for Humanity is collecting donations on behalf of the Habitat for Humanity communities in the devastated areas. 100% of your donation will go directly to Habitat for Humanity affiliates in the affected areas for disaster response and recovery.

Habitat for Humanity is assessing the impact on these homes and other affordable housing across the affected areas and will assist with cleanup, repairs and new construction efforts as need and available resources become clearer. Your gift today to the Disaster Response Fund can help people affected by these storms and disasters like them.
