University Ave. Champaign, IL 61820 (217) 355-6460 ReStore (217) 359-0507 Administration www.cuhabitat.org	Brought to you by...     Amasong and Women Build   Over $10,000 has been raised towards the $64,500 needed to break ground on the Women Build home at 114 N Cottage Grove in Urbana. As the ReStore covers Habitat's administrative costs, all funds donated to home builds goes directly to home builds. Habitat homes cost $65,000 - $95,000 to build depending on the land under development. Our affiliate raises $64,500 for each home build. Habitat itself covers any expense in excess (more below). Each home has a 20-year, zero interest mortgage, also at $64,500. Principal payments ($75 - $250 per home owner each month depending on the age of the home) help to defray the cost of future home builds (up to $30,000 per build). Donor investment in the homes is protected from "flipping" with a 10-year profit-sharing clause in each mortgage. Amasong: Champaign-Urbana's Premier Lesbian/Feminist Chorus, has offered to donate one dollar for each attendee of their winter concerts to the Women Build. The performances will be on December 8 at 730pm and December 9 at 4pm at McKinley Presbyterian (809 S 5th, C).   Did you know? Empty Tomb   empty tomb, inc. is, like Habitat, a Christian service and research organization. In the Champaign-Urbana area, those services include: * Christian Family to Family Relationships: This work provides support structures and encourages friendships between Christians with resources and families in need. * Christian Health Services: Christian Health Services provides a Christian nurse at Frances Nelson Health Center. Layettes are prepared for newborns, and limited medical prescription funds are available. * Clothing Work: Clothing is provided on a drop-off basis and is available free in Jesus' name. * Free Food Work: Congregations donate money to purchase food, or collect canned goods and deliver food from their pantry to families in need. * Furniture Work: Donated furniture is picked up and delivered to needy households. * Helping Work: Limited cash grants are available for various emergency needs, such as rent assistance, power bills, and prescriptions. * Home Maintenance Work: Designed to help low-income people who own their homes to make renovations; labor is done free in Jesus' name. We have been blessed by empty tomb's support of Habitat through our shared "furniture mission," routing goods and donation opportunities to each other whenever possible.
