Spring of Life, Habitat Completes 7th Home. 

Volunteers from Spring of Life's 9 churches completed the rehab of a 4 bedroom home in Elgin.  Over 120 different workers, including 17 teens, came to the Dixon St. Home to completely rebuild and rehab it. The project began in September, 2009 only 2 months after Spring of Life had completed their 6th home. Click here to see the video of our latest success story.

Historic House Renovation Completed!

Work was completed on our eighth house, a 95-year-old cottage on the West side of Elgin, by the Spring of Life Partnership at the end of June. The rehab project was done in cooperation with our Affiliate, Habitat for Humanity of Northern Fox Valley, and is partially funded with a federal Neighborhood Stabilization Program grant.

Volunteers are always needed. Our latest project began in early 2012. Construction work is done each Wednesday and Saturday. We can use a wide range of skills from novice to experienced tradesmen. Fund raising is done year-round. For more information, click here.

New 2012 Project Begins

The New Year has brought the beginning of Spring of Life’s ninth project. Our current project is a three bedroom split ranch located in Elgin. The rehab project will only require modest changes to the interior with the replacement of cabinets, bathrooms and painting. The exterior work will primarily be focused on updating the landscape and removal of over sized trees. Our objective is to complete this project in June. This short but intense project requires numerous volunteers in short period of times. Your help is needed. Come and lend us a hand. Everyone is welcome!
