LLCU Donates $10,000 To Decatur Area Habitat For Humanity

LLCU donated $10,000 to Habitat for Humanity for the organization’s community efforts planned in 2025 in central Illinois. The funds were presented to Carl Fuerstenberg, Executive Director of the Decatur Area Habitat for Humanity.

Habitat works together with families, local communities, volunteers and partners to provide affordable and safe homes with efforts on policy reform to remove systemic barriers preventing low-income and historically underserved families from accessing adequate, affordable shelter.

“We are excited to put this donation into action toward two homes that are nearing completion,” stated Carl Fuerstenberg, Habitat Executive Director. “We are looking to have these two homes finished by early spring for new owners.”

“We are grateful for organizations like Habitat for Humanity as the work they do helps to close the gap to home ownership for individuals that otherwise would not have the opportunity to own a home,” stated Chris Smith, LLCU Chief Financial Officer. “We hope our donation inspires other businesses to donate to Habitat this year - as their efforts truly are vital to our community.”
