Since 1993, Habitat for Humanity Quad Cities has built 147 homes, over 120 accessibility ramps, and countless home repairs, including its repair initiative in the Central City area of Davenport. None of this work could be done without the support of the Quad Cities!

Habitat for Humanity will now host their biggest party of the year, the "Build a Dream Fundraiser".   The event will help Habitat for Humanity Quad Cities reach its fundraising goal of $80,000 and will allow them to continue the mission to build and renovate homes, revitalize our community, and restore hope for families in need.
