We partner with St. Croix Valley Habitat for Humanity to help ensure families have safe, affordable housing. In 1996, community members in River Falls, WI and surrounding communities recognized the critical need to bring people together to build housing, communities and hope and founded the local, nonprofit Habitat affiliate. In its tenure, SCV Habitat for Humanity has partnered with more than 71 families in Pierce and St, Croix Counties to help achieve the goal of home ownership.
We partner with Hearts and hammers annually to restore and repair the homes of senior citizens and the disabled on their Project Day to help deserving homeowners continue living independently in their own homes. Each year, we team up with our trade partners and families to spend a day together working to make the exterior of the home weatherproof, safe, and beautiful. We immerse ourselves into a meaningful day of painting, landscaping, yard cleaning, and exterior home repairs knowing it will make a lasting impression on those who call it home. We believe everyone deserves to have a safe and well-maintained home, and we are honored to use our expertise to help make that happen.
In addition to our various employees serving on several BATC-Housing First committees, and our President serving on the Board of Directors, we are committed to sponsoring the BATC -Housing First Minnesota Foundation.
