About Habitat for Humanity
Our Vision & Mission
Vision: “A
world where everyone has a decent place to live.”
Mission: Habitat
for Humanity works in partnership with God and people everywhere,
from all walks
of life, to develop communities with people
in need by building and renovating houses so that there are decent
houses in decent communities in which every person can experience God’s
love and can live and grow into all that God intends.
Our History
Habitat for Humanity
Lakeside was founded in January of 1993 by a small group of local
Sheboygan
County citizens and interested Lakeland
College students who admired the Habitat concept of building simple,
decent homes in partnership with people in need. The affiliate, then
called Sheboygan County Habitat for Humanity, served only Sheboygan
County, which included a campus chapter from Lakeland College. In 2002,
the affiliate expanded its geographical boundaries when a group of
citizens from Ozaukee County desired to organize a Habitat chapter
to serve their community. The board of directors chose to rename the
affiliate Habitat for Humanity Lakeside to reflect the affiliate’s
expanded service area.
