Real stories from local families whose lives have been changed through safe, affordable homeownership and the support of our community.


Thank You to Our Donors, Partners, and Volunteers!
This year, we built four new homes in Bolander Estates in Oak Harbor — a neighborhood named in honor of our Board President, Pastor Becky Bolander, whose thousands of miles on her cross-country bike ride helped raise the funds needed to bring essential infrastructure to this project. More than 60 volunteers contributed over 5,000 hours to make these homes a reality. While we cannot list every single person who had a hand in this work, please know that we are deeply grateful for each and every one of you. Your generosity, your time, and your belief in our mission created a lasting impact for the families who now call Bolander Estates home.
