Upper Yadkin Valley Habitat for Humanity is an affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International, dedicated to eliminating poverty housing from the face of the earth by building and renovating decent, affordable housing. Furthermore, all our words and actions are for the ultimate purpose of putting shelter on the hearts and minds of people in such a powerful way that poverty housing and homelessness become socially, politically and religiously unacceptable in our nations and world.
We are building, growing, and celebrating twenty-three years of working to eliminate poverty housing in the Yadkin Valley of northwest North Carolina.
