How do you want to get your board?

 I'll pick up a Board at the Habitat ReStore at 434 Third Avenue South in La Crosse. The boards are available during store hours Wednesdays-Fridays 10am-6pm, and Saturdays 9am-3pm.

 Please deliver. (A Habitat volunteer will call you to set up a time.)

 

How Does it Work?

The House of Hope is one of our most successful annual fundraisers. Last year we raised over $25,000!

2x4 boards are displayed at Board Host locations throughout the community. Each board has a collection box, signage, and Sharpies. Members, customers, and employees of the Board Hosts who wish to support Habitat for Humanity-La Crosse Area sign their name on the board and make a donation.

The event begins with the distribution of the boards and collection boxes. The House of Hope Board Hosts display and promote the boards until the week of September 6, 2010. The boards are then used to construct the House of Hope Float for the Oktoberfest Maple Leaf and Torchlight parades.

At the conclusion of Oktoberfest, Habitat volunteers dismantle the float and the boards are used in the construction of the next Habitat House. All the money raised will be used to build the 2010 House of Hope for a family in need in the La Crosse Area.

Returning Your Board

We need it back by September 4, but you can drop it off before then at the Habitat ReStore at 434 Third Street South during business hours (Wednesday-Friday 10-6, Saturday 9-3), or give us a call at 785-2373 and we'll have a volunteer swing by to pick it up.

If you'd like to hang on to the board for a bit longer, no problem. Return it when you're ready.

 

Volunteer Opportunities

We're looking for volunteers, individuals, or groups who would like to help make this event a success! If you'd like to help with delivery and pick-up or float construction, click here to send us an email!

Thanks much to the youth group of Christ the King Lutheran Church in Holmen for helping us prepare the boards for the third year in a row!
