Goal: Provide affordable housing for two Minnesota families.
I was homeless…
- More than 13,000 Minnesotans are homeless on any given night, including nearly 4,000 children. (Source: Wilder Foundation)
- Half of homeless children are 5 years old or younger. (Source: Wilder Foundation)
… and you built me a house.
Volunteers across Minnesota will work with ECS’ EpiscoBuilders to build two houses – one in Brooklyn Park and the other in White Earth. This ambitious goal will require many individuals to donate their time, talents, and to help raise the funds it takes – around $225,000.
Volunteer now!
