Gifts In-Kind

All services and materials that are donated to Harbor Habitat are In-Kind donations. The value of these donations is added to the value of a Habitat House and are included in the Partner Family’s mortgage rate. Habitat mortgages are cycled directly back into Harbor Habitat and help build more houses in the Benton Harbor community.

Gifts In-Kind include, but are not limited to:

  • Professional labor (discounted sub-contractors, professional volunteers, cost of printing newsletters/brochures, etc.)
  • Building materials (windows, doors, wood, cement, paint, food donated for volunteer’s lunch, etc.)
  • Home appliances/supplies (washer, dryer, light fixtures, etc.)
  • Office supplies (paper, Xerox machines, staplers, phone system, etc.)
