Since we began in 1994, Habitat for Humanity serving Winona County has placed 54 families in safe, decent, affordable homes. Here are just a few examples of what we have accomplished with the support of this community.
Skappel Family (Winona) - 2022
“Habitat has been a huge blessing to my family. To all the students and teachers, John and Dylan, and all volunteers - we want to let you know that you all made this happen for my family.” - Melissa Skappel
Pictured are the students from the MSC Southeast Construction Technology program who built this home in partnership with Habitat for Humanity, the Skappel family, local sponsors and supporters, and countless volunteers.
Foss Family (Winona) - 2015
“I was there about every step of the way. I helped with the trusses, shingles and concrete. It was very cool to do every step. Who else builds their own house like this? This was an amazing opportunity. We are so excited to move in and enjoy our new home.”
Root Family (Harmony) - 2013
“It’s a lot of work but it is an amazing, amazing feeling to know that not only were you chosen but the community supports you and Habitat supports you and I mean you create so many more relationships and it’s just an amazing, amazing, thing.”
Baumann/Horton Family (Utica) - 2013
“We feel like we’re not just buying a home, we’re earning it, and that makes it feel so much better. To all of the volunteers, thank you for taking the time out of your everyday lives to help us build our dream!”
