Idaho’s largest auto and home insurance company recently donated $2,500 to Idaho Panhandle Habitat for Humanity.

Idaho Panhandle Habitat for Humanity is a locally-run affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International, a nonprofit, ecumenical Christian housing organization. Habitat for Humanity works in partnership with people in need to build and renovate decent, affordable housing.

The houses then are sold to those in need at no profit and with no interest charged.

State Farm is making the contribution as part of the company’s on-going commitment to building safer, stronger, and better-educated neighborhoods through its Good Neighbor Citizenship program.

“Strong neighborhoods are the backbone of a vibrant, thriving community,” said Sandpoint State Farm Agent Dale Reed. “Our long-term partnership with Habitat programs helps us fulfill our commitment to building strong communities.”

Once the building season begins, Reed will organize a group of volunteers from State Farm to help build one of the new homes in the Schissler Meadows subdivision.
