GROUNDBREAKING TOMORROW!

Join us in Warsaw at 5:15pm as we break ground on one more home in 2024 for Brianna Adams and her family. We'll be at the northwest corner of Ellsworth and Lyon Streets in Warsaw (across from the Salvation Army). Please carpool and park at the Salvation Army (501 E Arthur St) and walk over.

Hope to see you there!

Thank you to Bowen Health for donating such a nice lot in Warsaw! We can't wait to build a home here!

Bowen Health Donates Property To Habitat For Humanity Of Kosciusko County Bowen Health has donated property to Habitat for Humanity of Kosciusko County for use as a future building site for a family home.

World Compassion Network is setting up a collection point for specific disaster relief items at Warsaw Community Church. Metzger Trucking has donated a semi trailer and will drive it to North Carolina as soon as it’s full. The goal is to have it filled by October 10. We are praying that our amazing community can fill it up before then.

The need is so great as you can see from all of the news reports. WCN is working through a local ministry in Hot Springs, North Carolina. All donated items will go to Hot Springs Elementary school to be distributed to people affected by the historical, awful flooding.

Items needed are attached. Volunteers will be at the collection point until 6 o’clock during the week and 9:00 AM - noon on Saturday and 10 till 2 on Sunday. Please only bring items that are on the list. Any other items will be turned away.

We are so thankful for our community. We have great volunteers, supporters and donors. If you would like to donate or volunteer, please contact us. www.wcnministries.org.

We're so excited for this Hard Hat build from Habitat for Humanity of Kosciusko County to wrap up in the coming weeks! This home will be featured in the 2024 Homes on Parade, happening THIS WEEKEND!

This home features a modern, ADA-adaptable design with an open-concept living/kitchen/dining space, 4 bedrooms with closets, 2 baths and a utility room all within 1,344 sq. ft. It is built on a 4’ crawl space to allow for ample below-grade storage and storm shelter space, and to keep mechanicals out of sight. An outdoor shed is included for storage of lawn equipment. Practical and efficient, it’s designed for a local family of six in need of a safe, affordable home!
