About Central Valley Habitat for Humanity

Central Valley Habitat for Humanity is an independent affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International, the ecumenical Christian housing ministry founded by Millard and Linda Fuller in 1976. Habitat for Humanity is a global nonprofit housing organization working in nearly 1,400 communities across the United States and in 70 countries around the world. Habitat for Humanity affiliates are local Habitat for Humanity organizations that act in partnership with and on behalf of Habitat for Humanity International. Each Habitat affiliate coordinates all aspects of Habitat home building in its local area. Habitat welcomes people from all walks of life to partner in serving families in need and creating a better community for everyone who lives here. Central Valley Habitat for Humanity was organized in 1988 when a group of volunteers at the Bridgewater Interchurch Food Pantry became concerned about the deplorable housing conditions they saw in the community. They incorporated as a non-profit organization and were approved as a Habitat affiliate. Central Valley Habitat dedicated its first house in Grottoes in 1989. Since then, Central Valley Habitat for Humanity has continued to build simple, decent homes for sale to low-income families at no profit and no interest in Harrisonburg and Rockingham County. The cooperative effort between Habitat volunteers and partner families has grown to include three Habitat Campus Chapters at local schools, twenty-five Covenant Churches, and many local businesses and organizations.
