I love building homes, but there's
nothing more rewarding than building lives.
In my life, I
am proud to stand by this statement. When I founded Homes for Hope back in
1998, I knew I was doing something good by providing home builders and their
trade partners with the opportunity to build new homes for a greater purpose. Hopes
for Hope was a project that allowed me to combine what I am good at, home
building, with my passion to help others and to help my still relatively new
nonprofit, HOPE International. Since that time, Homes for Hope has been able to
build more than 90 homes, impact more than 500,000 lives and raise more than
$10 million in revenue benefiting HOPE International.
Last month, we
were lucky enough to break ground with Red Door Homes to build North Dakota's
first Home for Hope. The Bismarck-based builder and its trade partners will
build and sell the home knowing that the profits, which are estimated at $100,000,
will benefit thousands of people in more than 17 countries.

Goldammer, owner of Red Door Homes, said, "Homes for Hope gave us the
opportunity to help more people than we could possibly serve alone. It is hard
to put your finger on just the sense of joy that you can help out that many
people and that, things you can’t even relate to, but you can make that big a
difference in the world from Bismarck, N.D."
If you're
looking for a new home in North Dakota, this home located at 3819 Crest Circle
in Bismarck is a great opportunity to help a lot of people.
If you're a
builder looking to benefit your community, not just locally, but also globally,
I hope you'll consider getting involved with the Homes for Hope program.
Until next
time,
