Autumn
is here! The time of the year when everything bursts with it's last beauty, as if nature had been saving up all year for the grand finale. As we all know, it wouldn't be fall here in Whidbey Island without cloudy skies, rain, wind & hail! It has been an interesting start of fall to say the least. Here at Habitat - rain, shine or hail - the build will go on!

We have had a very busy summer. We broke ground last July for the Gann's new home just south of Coupeville. It has always been a dream for the Ganns to live in Whidbey Island and in Coupeville. For Allie & Drew, their future house comes as a big relief. They are glad to be out of Stockton,California to be in a place with better schools and safer streets for their children. Construction is still ongoing and if you are interested in volunteering at the jobsite, click on the the link below to register/sign-up.

Last August, we had four (4) housewarmings, ALL in one day! This was the first for Habitat for Humanity of Island County. We are thrilled that the Dunlap, Anderson, Crawley & Graham-Hooks family now all have a place to call home. These families have worked hard alongside volunteers to help build their dream home.

We are expanding our product assortment at the store. We now carry laminate flooring at a very competitive price - The flooring is click-lock, requires no sub-floor and comes with a 20-year warranty for residential installations.
In addition to flooring, we now carry home goods and books at the Oak Harbor Store. What started as a small corner of miscellaneous items has been expanding larger each month and is now filled with plates, kitchen appliances, mugs and more. We hope to continue to receive donation of these types of goods going forward as they have been performing well for us
.
We also have a meeting space available at the Oak Harbor location! If you have a small group and need space to conduct meetings, contact the store manager
