Habitat for Humanity of Northwest Arkansas

At Habitat for Humanity of Northwest Arkansas, we build strength, stability, and self-reliance through affordable homeownership for families across NWA. 

The affordable, stable homeownership we are able to provide gives families the foundation to build lasting change: children thrive in school, parents gain financial stability, neighborhoods become safer and more connected, and health outcomes improve. When a family purchases a Habitat home, they’re not just achieving a dream — they’re creating generational opportunity and strengthening our entire community.

Double your impact during NWA Gives 2026! 
Thanks to the generosity of Dick and Margaret Rutherford, every gift made during NWA Gives 2026 will be matched dollar-for-dollar—up to $10,000. That means your donation will go twice as far in helping families build safe, stable futures.

Every Habitat home represents far more than walls and a roof — it’s the start of a stronger future. During NWA Gives 2026, we invite you to help make that future possible for a special family: Jessica and her son, Legend.

​	"My name is Jessica, and my son Legend is my world. He was born with spina bifida and uses a wheelchair — but nothing slows him down. He is full of joy, strength, and determination. Watching him grow has shown me what true strength and resilience looks like.”  — Jessica, Future Habitat Homeowner

Life hasn't always been easy for Jessica. Since having her son, she has worked tirelessly to strengthen their future one step at a time — taking on new opportunities, advancing in her job, and focusing on providing Legend with the life he deserves. For years, homeownership felt out of reach, and finding stable, affordable, accessible housing was a constant worry.

“When I learned about Habitat for Humanity, I knew it was the opportunity we had been waiting for,” Jessica said. “For the first time, I could see a future where Legend has a safe place built for his needs — a place where he can grow and thrive.”

Their future home will be fully wheelchair-accessible — a place where Legend can play, grow, and thrive. It will be a home filled with the love and care Jessica has worked so hard to provide, where roots can be established for her family and generations to come. 

Your gift today will help make homeownership — and the stability and opportunity that comes with it — possible for Jessica and families like hers across Northwest Arkansas. Together, we can continue building strength, stability, and self-reliance for generations to come.

Because of the Rutherford family’s generous $10,000 match, your gift today will go twice as far—bringing Jessica and Legend closer to an affordable and accessible home.

Your gift today helps make that future possible. 

Together, we can create the stability and opportunity that every family deserves—not just for Jessica and Legend, but for families across Northwest Arkansas.
