Now They Can Come and Go Safely

Home revitalization project of a ramp was installed at the front of a home

For Lee and Sharon of Lake City, a new ramp made all the difference. After years of struggling with unsafe entry steps, Habitat’s Home Repair program gave them back independence and peace of mind. Skilled staff, dedicated volunteers, and caring donors made it possible.

Home Is Where Care Lives

For Denise, homeownership wasn’t just a dream, it was a necessity. She works full-time and is the sole caregiver for her mother, Elaine, whose stage IV cancer made safe, accessible housing essential. Their previous home could no longer support Elaine’s care, putting their future—and their time together—at risk.

He Came for One Day

Volunteer Russ working on a Habitat Home

What began as a single day of volunteering became a 15-year commitment for Russ. After retiring, he stepped up even more—now volunteering 8–10 hours each week as a Construction Lead for Habitat’s Red Wing Go-To Team.

With more than 1,000 volunteer hours, Russ helps turn plans into homes and neighbors into community.

“Anyone can volunteer,” he says.
And his story proves it.

Anne & Tabbathia are among the newest Habitat homeowners in Red Wing. After putting in many hours of sweat equity and partnering with local volunteers, friends, family, “and our Red Wing Go 2 Team, they’ve moved into a place of their own.
