about

 “Habitat for Heroes” is a new initiative at Habitat for Humanity La Crosse Area. This program, aimed at providing assistance to local veterans, began with the formation of a committee which includes representation from area veterans, veteran’s family members, local businesses, and local veteran organizations including the La Crosse Vet Center, Logistics Health, the UW-La Crosse Student Veterans Association, the La Crosse Area Veterans Mentor Program, the La Crosse County Veterans Services, and the local VFW.

goals 

  •  To encourage interaction, skill development, and support for veterans through volunteerism. 
  • To break ground on a home for a local veteran and their family by fall 2019. This will be a home for a veteran built by veterans.
