The original founding members of the NEMS Habitat for Humanity

Build Up Your Neighbor
Invest in building a brighter future for families today. Donations (large or small) are certainly welcome. Each of our homes costs $125,000.
With your support, we can turn these aspirations into life-changing realities. Together, we can ensure that every family in our community has a place they can proudly call home—a place where dreams take root and futures are built.
Join us in making this transformational journey possible and make your three-year pledge. Together, we can make the American Dream a reality for those in need.
