You can make affordable housing in Door County a reality to two families this year no matter which end of the peninsula you live. For the second year in a row, the organization will provide volunteers to build a home in Sister Bay as a part of its relationship with the Door County Housing Partnership. Last year, it built a home for a young family that allowed a teacher from Northern Door Children’s Center in Sister Bay to stay in the area. Door County Habitat for Humanity will also build its own home in Sturgeon Bay for the Ferron family after taking a hiatus in 2024. Executive Director Lori Allen says whether you have experience or not, there are multiple ways you can help support their home build, with or without a hammer.

While the groundbreaking for the two homes is several weeks away, Allen encourages potential volunteers to sign up now to participate in the home build or to bring snacks, drinks, and meals to the crews.
