Each United Way campaign is different.  Please see if Metro Camden Habitat for Humanity is on the list for the campaign that you wish to contribute through. UW SEPA code 35919

Matching Gifts:

Ask your employer if they match financial contributions made to MCHH. 

Also some companies will make financial contributions based upon how much personal volunteer time you spend at MCHH as a volunteer.  As your employer for more information.

Some people are under the misconception that gifts made to Habitat for Humanity, International will end up at U.S. affiliates such as Metro Camden HFH.  In fact, we, like all affiliates, are expected to tithe 10% of our unrestricted gifts to HFHI, to be sent to our overseas sister affiliates. 

Since God’s love doesn’t respect national borders, MCHH willingly chooses to tithe.

Currently we are tithing to Habitat affiliate in Uganda. Learn more about HFH Uganda

If you wish to designate your entire gift for a specific purpose, we will honor that request by excluding it from the amount we tithe on.

Cars for Homes

Your vehicle donation can help Habitat build homes in partnership with families in need of decent, affordable shelter. Donate a car, truck, boat, RV or other vehicle to Habitat's Cars for Homes^TM vehicle donation program.  Funds generated thru the program from donations made in Camden County will benefit Metro Camden Habitat for Humanity.  To donate, or for more information, please call 1-877-277-4344 toll free or visiting www.carsforhomes.org

Note: please do not bring your vehicles to the MCHH office.  The Cars for Homes^TM program is administered by HFH, International and customer service reps will handle your vehicle donations.

	Thanks to the Cars for Homes program, MCHH received a box truck and van from two separate donors, which not only serve as functional vehicles on the worksite, but also as "driving billboards" raising awareness wherever we go. You don't have to have a vehicle like these to make a difference…Any vehicle donated helps us bring more families home!

Gifts That Keep on Giving

Let your loved ones know how much they mean to you by blessing needy families in their name.  When you make a donation to MCHH as a memorial gift for a deceased loved one or to celebrate a special occasion such as a birthday, anniversary or graduation or for a holiday such as Christmas or Hanukkah, you give a gift of meaning, worth and honor.   A personalized card, appropriate for your special occasion, will be sent to the recipient, notifying them that you have made a gift to MCHH’s housing ministry in their name.   Your gift is guaranteed never to wear out, go out of fashion, arrive broken or get lost.  Your gift will be fully tax-deductible for one year, but it will keep working for a lifetime.

Welcome Basket

Picture this: Friday afternoon, 4 p.m.  You are sitting at a table with a pen in one hand and a check in the other.  No, you are not at the bank depositing your paycheck, but rather at your house closing where you are purchasing your new Habitat for Humanity house.  You walk in a nervous wreck and walk out a homeowner.  What a wonderful feeling!  You can’t wait to rush home to pack your final belongings and move into your new home that night…All that excitement, you forgot to bring the staples along to have breakfast the next morning with your family!  This is a typical closing day for our Habitat homeowners.

Now you can be responsible for making moving day a bit easier for the new homeowner!

If you are interested in filling a Welcome Basket for a new homeowner on the day of closing, contact us for more information.  Note: House Dedication gifts are also available to be donated when a Partner Family is celebrating their new home.   Contact us to find out when this is available.
