Take Action Now!

Can you take one minute to help Habitat for Humanity build strong relationships with the new Congress? Just weeks ago in Washington, D.C., the 112th Congress was sworn in. The last election brought significant change to Congress, and the current situation at home and abroad will bring significant challenges in 2011. Millions of Americans know and support Habitat’s work, but some people have misconceptions about who we are and what we do. Some think we just give houses away. Some have never been inspired by the story of a Habitat homeowner. And some just haven’t heard enough about the critical and life-changing work we do. Will you take one minute to reach out to your member of Congress to help Habitat build good relationships in Washington? It’s important for your voice to be heard, and sending a letter will take just a moment. As we move into 2011, we at Habitat will be working to welcome, inform and engage new members of Congress by making sure they know how important our work is to constituents like you. We will be reaching out in coming weeks with more ways to get involved, but it’s important to start strong, today. Thank you for all that you do. Here’s looking ahead to a year of strong partnerships, great work and meaningful results. Liz Blake Senior Vice President Habitat for Humanity International
