On July 15th, the Heart of Illinois Foundation met with Habitat for Humanity, Moultrie County, and the  Sullivan ReStore Habitat for Humanity volunteers as they build homes and hope for their community.

HICF board trustee Linda Carlton-Huber and Philanthropic Advisor Grant Wade presented Gary Smith, Habitat Board President, and the RV Care-A-Vanners volunteers, with a $15,000 grant as they build their 36 home. 

The Habitat movement in Moultrie Co. is supported by multiple churches, schools, and community volunteers. The RV Care-A-Vanners travel from around the United States to share their skills on home builds. The Care-A-Vanners crews rotate on two-week schedules and build the house from the ground to completion in six weeks. Many of the Moultrie Co. Habitat homes are located in a community neighborhood on streets named Hope Lane and Faith Lane.
