The first Habitat Lunch & Learn will take place on Tuesday, December 7^th from noon – 1 pm at the Habitat office at 803 W 5^th Street, Waterloo.

In 2010, Iowa Heartland HFH has completed twelve Habitat homes in four towns – Parkersburg, Cedar Falls, Waterloo and Waverly - in three different counties - Black Hawk, Butler and Bremer.

Call 319 235 9946 or email director@heartlandhfh.org if you will be attending the Habitat Lunch & Learn.

Habitat for Humanity invites people from all walks of life to work together in partnership to help build homes with families in need of better housing.  Houses are built with volunteer labor, homeowner Sweat Equity hours and tax-deductible donations of money and materials.  The Habitat Houses are then sold to Habitat families with affordable ZERO interest mortgages. These mortgage proceeds are then used by the Habitat affiliate to build more affordable homes with more qualified families.

On a global level since 1976, Habitat International has provided over 1.5 million people with safe, decent affordable shelter by building 350,000 homes in more than 90 countries.

In 2010, Habitat for Humanity became the 8th largest builder of private homes in the USA.
