When the thermometer dips below freezing, that’s when we turn up the HEAT.

Why? Because too many of our low-income Chicago neighbors will have to make trade-offs this winter to cover the expense of heating their homes. Too many of our neighbors will have to ask themselves questions like: Do I pay my heating bill this month or pay for my child to play on his favorite sport team? Do I cover heating or do I put this money towards my dream of owning my own business? 

Our Site leaders Pete and Noe can't stand this injustice. That's why they're rallying our volunteers to raise the funds needed to buy insulation, siding and an HVAC heating system for a home and ensure that a Habitat Chicago homebuyer will never have to make sacrifices again.

And of course, they've turned it into a heated competition. 

Site Supervisor Noe G thinks his team can raise enough money for siding and insulation before Pete can raise the money for an HVAC System: 

"I'm not worried at all about losing this battle. Team Pete isn't going to know what hit them when Team Noe dials up that thermostat." 

The stakes are even higher: the Supervisor of the losing team will face some icy-cold consequences: he has to wear a t-shirt with the winning Supervisor's face on it for the entire month of April!

So if you're ready to have some fun, ready to make a difference for your neighbors, and ready to  build a Chicago where no family is forced to make sacrifices to keep warm:
