The goal of Habitat for Humanity of Southwestern North Dakota is not only to build homes, but to build our community.  We could not accomplish this without the support and generosity of the people and businesses in Dickinson and the surrounding areas.  We'd like to thank the following businesses and organizations for their continued support:

The Stark County ND Chapter of Thrivent Financial for Lutherans donated $500.00 to Habitat for Humanity.

The True Value in Glendive, MT donated paint and stain for Habitat for Humanity to use on this and future homes.

Consolidated donated the booth to Habitat for Humanity at this years Women's Expo.

Clear Channel Radio donated the booth to Habitat for Humanity at this years Business Expo.

The Village Gift Shop donated four Dept 56 Habitat for Humanity Houses.  Two of these houses will be used as raffle prizes for our Build Your Own Taco Supper being held at the Elk's Club on October 15th, 2003.

To American State Bank & Trust for another successful Golf Tournament.  Thank you for all the hard work and commitment you put into this tournament.  Thank you to all the sponsors for donating prizes and sponsoring holes for this event.  Your continued support to Habitat for Humanity is greatly appreciated.

The KC Council hosted a benefit breakfast at St. Joseph's Catholic Church on Sunday, May 4.  All proceeds will be donated to the Dickinson Habitat affiliate.  The breakfast allowed us to visit with parishioners about Habitat.  Many people didn't realize construction of the second house is set to begin this summer.  Thank you to everyone who attended the breakfast or volunteered their time to help.

We would also like to express our deepest gratitude to each of the 95 dedicated volunteers who put in more than 1,300 hours of work into the completion of our first Habitat for Humanity house and extend a special "thank you" to the First Congregational Church/United Church of Christ for generously granting HFHSWND the use of its basement meeting area and kitchen to serve the lunches for our first house, Delane Woehl for the extended use of storage space on Radar Base Road, Lyle Dassinger and Wes Schurhke for donating the basement and excavating work, Joe Rothschiller, Steffes Corporation for the generous donation of a quality product, Paul Bosch, Bosch Lumber for all his helpful advice and instruction, Lyn Schwindt, Dickinson City Inspector for helping us avoid some common pitfalls, Scot Schara, Al Wieman, and Erv Van Veldhuizen, some of the members of our very own Construction Committee who put in innumerable hours on committee work and actual construction, American State Bank, American Insurance, and the Badland Board of Realtors for hosting the Spring Fling to raise money for HFHSWND this year, and the following businesses for participating in organized Build Days and those which donated food to feed our hungry workers:
