Donate

Thank you for your interest in Essex County Habitat for Humanity. We take seriously our responsibility to our supporters and those counting on our help. Please know that each gift given helps a family in need of affordable, safe and decent shelter.

Donations from individuals, corporations, foundations, churches, and local organizations all help provide the funding needed to build affordable housing for individuals and families throughout Essex County. By partnering with volunteers and homeowners, we keep our construction costs down, but in today’s building climate, it still costs approximately $250,000 to build one of our homes.

We accomplish this while maintaining our commitment to fiscal responsibility and serving as trusted stewards of the organization.

For your tax purposes, all donations are tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law. Essex County Habitat’s Tax ID Number is 22-2672831.

Donate Land

Essex County Habitat is always looking for additional building sites. Without land on which to build, we cannot continue to provide affordable, safe, and decent housing for local low-income families.

If you have land to donate or know of any available parcels of land that could be purchased at a substantially reduced price, please call (978) 681-8858 or email development@essexcountyhabitat.org.
