BUILD HOPE! Since 1991, Benton Habitat for Humanity has worked to make decent, affordable housing a matter of action and conscience. Acquisition of construction skills and pride of home ownership break the cycle of poverty one family at a time. Benton Habitat for Humanity believes in radical inclusiveness and optimism. Volunteers from all income levels, perspectives and walks of life, work together in equal partnership on the construction sites, in committees, at the Benton Habitat for Humanity ReStore and in the Habitat office.
