Habitat for Humanity of East King County is an affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International, which operates independently while serving the same mission and goals as Habitat for Humanity International. The Eastside chapter is one of over 30 Habitat affiliates in Washington State. We follow the guidelines of the International organization in Americus, Georgia, and like all affiliates, we are an autonomous group with our own local board of directors. Our purpose is to build homes and sell them at no profit to qualified families on the Eastside. We serve Bellevue, Redmond, Mercer Island, Kirkland, Issaquah, Snoqualmie, Woodinville, and other cities east of Seattle.

Upcoming Events

• Summer Team Leaders Wanted!
  June 15—September 30.  During our peak building season we will be without our AmeriCorps team from June 15 through September 30.  We are looking for volunteers who like to teach and lead small groups to work as Summer Team Leaders on our jobsites this summer.  No construction experience necessary!  We will train anyone who likes to work with people and is willing to spend 2 days per week volunteering on our jobsites this summer for as many (or as few) weeks that you’re available. Please contact our Volunteer Coordinator if you are interested in this opportunity.
• Thrivent Builds with Habitat for Humanity -- Two Houses in Two Months!
  June 27—August 30. We are building two homes in eight weeks at Koinonia Ridge in Snoqualmie and we need your help! Thrivent Financial for Lutherans is sponsoring two houses for our affiliate this year, and members of the Lutheran community will provide at least half of the labor for these new homes. The build will take place over eight weekends in July and August, and we need nearly 50 volunteers per weekend to help construct these homes and keep them affordable for hard-working Habitat Families. See the progress we are making on these homes.
  
  To see available dates and to sign up as an individual, please register on our volunteer registration site. If you are a member of Thrivent Financial or a Lutheran congregation, be sure to check the “Woody Carlson on the Thrivent House” box on the registration page.
  
  If you are a member of a Lutheran church, and would like to get your congregation involved, please contact The Volunteer Coordinator. We also need volunteers with construction experience to help lead crews of less experienced volunteers, particularly on build days after July 15^th.   If you have built before, and would like to lead crews, please contact The Volunteer Coordinator.
  SIGN ME UP!
• Ride Green Build Green
  July 25—August 25.  RGBG creates awareness, advocacy and raises money in support of green affordable housing. Biking from Seattle to San Francisco riders will volunteer at affordable housing projects with green initiatives and host awareness events as they pedal down the NW Pacific coast. Prior to the tour, each rider raises $2,000 to build a local, LEED certified, affordable home.
  
  This year's funds will be donated to Habitat for Humanity of East King County to cover the cost difference for a LEED certified affordable home.  For more information or to make a donation, contact Elise Cope.
• New Home Dedications, Gottlieb and Wilder Families
  Saturday, September 20th from 3-5 p.m. Sponsored by Thrivent Financial for Lutherans. At the Koinonia Ridge community center. More details here.
