April's Habitat Highlight: Giving Back with Habitat for Humanity

On Wednesday April 18th, Harrisonburg’s first ever day of giving, The Great Community Give will take place, and people from all over Harrisonburg will be showing their love to their favorite local nonprofits all day long. Check out their site here!

The Great Community Give has inspired us to talk about one of our favorite local nonprofits – ​Central Valley Habitat for Humanity. Since 1988, Central Valley Habitat has been providing the Harrisonburg-Rockingham area with affordable homes sold at no profit nor interest, and whose volunteers build the homes with homebuyers, not for them.  

Why Do We Support Central Valley Habitat?
Colman Engineering’s Principal, Gil Colman, has been involved with Central Valley Habitat since 2011 and currently serves as the Vice President on the Board of Directors. Gil also works with Habitat's Site and Building Committee, contributing his expertise and experience.  

Central Valley Habitat envisions a world where everyone has a decent place to live and understands that housing instability, i.e. struggling to afford rent, frequently moving homes or overcrowding in the home, often results in depression and hopelessness. By providing our communities with affordable housing, Habitat is creating happier and healthier children, families and neighborhoods – something we certainly can get behind!
