         Habitat for Humanity of Lafayette is an affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International, a nonprofit,
          ecumenical, Christian housing ministry. Since it's birth in 1984, 25 years ago, Habitat has built
          nearly 200 homes in Tippecanoe, Carroll and White Counties. We recently received an award for
          giving over $500,000 to build houses in other communities of the world through our commitment to tithe.

          Our Mission:
          To give witness to the Good News of Jesus Christ by building affordable housing,
          nurturing families and strengthening communities.

          Our Vision:
          Lives and communities transformed by God by building more than houses.

Purdue and Indiana University Students Join Forces for Habitat for Humanity

Members of the Purdue and Indiana University Chapters of Habitat for Humanity are joining forces to complete a 120-mile bike ride.
The ride will begin at the Bloomington campus and end at the Purdue campus the weekend of October 2.  

The bike ride raises funds and awareness for Habitat for Humanity’s mission. Prior to the ride, Purdue participants conducted a
letter-writing campaign to raise money for the 4th student-built Habitat house.  Through this fundraiser and others, the Purdue
students have acquired sufficient money to build a house each year for the past 4 consecutive years.

Have you been to our ReStore?
The ReStore is a resale outlet that offers new and gently used goods. We have surplus building materials, furniture, home accessories and appliances. The ReStore accepts donated goods which we sell to the general public at a fraction of the retail price. All proceeds help us fund the construction of Habitat homes within our service area of Tippecanoe, Carroll and White County communities.

The ReStore provides an environmentally and socially responsible way to keep good, reusable materials out of the waste stream, while providing funding for our community development efforts. It's open Wednesday - Saturday. To learn more or to schedule a donation pick up, click here.
