Another great charity we have right here in Columbia, Missouri is Habitat for Humanity Columbia, MO.

Habitat for Humanity provides Economic prosperity in the Columbia area. A healthy housing market attracts businesses that depend on a range of housing options for their employees. Studies also show that providing stable, healthy housing is one of the most effective strategies for improving school performance in low income children.

Our local Habitat for Humanity also helps the environment. When people can find good housing that they can afford near their work, it improves our transportation system by decreasing congestion and reducing commuting costs. Habitat’s commitment to green building produces energy-efficient homes that are more affordable to maintain. Additionally, building housing near public transportation and thriving job centers results in diminished air pollution and congestion.
