Stratton Mountain School students joined Bennington County Habitat for Humanity in Manchester for their SMS Gives Back day, working on a home build and gaining hands-on construction experience.
We bring people together to build affordable housing, and affordable homeownership opportunities here in southwestern Vermont.
Join our team of dedicated volunteers! We have opportunities for you on our construction sites, at the ReStore, and more.
Donate to, shop at, or volunteer with us at our ReStore in Manchester. We sell donated goods to fund our construction programs, increasing the number of affordable housing, and homeownership opportunities locally.
We could not function, and do the work we love doing, if it were not for generous individuals like yourself.
Since our founding in 1997, we’ve helped hundreds of people and families gain safe, decent, affordable housing.
We’ve built affordable housing opportunities all across Bennington County, and expanded neighborhoods.
Volunteers make our work possible, from building homes, to staffing the ReSale Store, to admin and policy support.
We had an ambitious goal to complete 10 home repair projects this year. Can we help someone you know?

mainly because I think it is so important for the children of our mostly young families
to have a permanent safe place to call home.”
