Greater Blessings Programs

There are several options available for those in need. Please take the time to look through the criteria of each option below and select the one that suits you best.

Greater Blessings

THE GREATER BLESSING PROGRAM is designed to help low income homeowners, often the elderly and handicapped, do basic health and safety repairs to their homes. In many cases these repairs allow the homeowner to stay in a house that they might otherwise be forced to leave.

The program allows for repairs costing up to $5,000 in materials and professional labor. Most of the work is done by volunteers working with the homeowner. The homeowner is asked to repay the costs, over time and with no interest charged, on terms they can afford. Their payments stay in the community to assist other families and the homeowner gets the Greater Blessing of giving back.


Funding is available for some projects based on eligibility.
