Congratulations to Habitat for Humanity of Sangamon County for being chosen the Chatham Area Chamber of Commerce’s Member of the Month for February! 


The Habitat for Humanity organization in Sangamon County was established in 1989 by a group of community leaders in Springfield. As an approved affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International, Habitat for Humanity of Sangamon County is directly responsible for all aspects of Habitat home building in our local area: fund raising, site selection, family selection and family support, construction, and mortgage servicing.


It is a community-driven nonprofit organization that develops working partnerships with local businesses, churches, community groups and other individuals to successfully tackle a significant social problem—affordable, safe and decent housing for all. Since its founding, Habitat for Humanity of Sangamon County has built/renovated 118 houses in Sangamon County (including builds in Pawnee, Glenarm, and Grandview, as well as in Springfield) while providing shelter for more than 500 individuals in need.


Habitat for Humanity of Sangamon County also operates the “ReStore.” The ReStore is a wonderful place to shop for new and used home goods and building materials at affordable prices. It accepts donations, subject to customer demand, from contractors, suppliers, individuals and organizations. The ReStore then sells these goods to the general public to help fund the construction of new Habitat houses within the local community.



Habitat for Humanity of Sangamon County also offers free curbside pick up of large items, to residents of Sangamon County. Residents can utilize this service one time per year of up to six items; or two times per year of up to three items per pick up.


Habitat for Humanity of Sangamon County and the Habitat Restore are located at 2744 S. 6th St., Springfield, and are open Tuesday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. They are closed Sunday and Monday.
