Senator Amy Koch and Rep. Mary Kiffmeyer introduced a resolution this month to recognize the life and achievements of Millard Fuller, Founder of Habitat for Humanity.
Fuller founded Habitat for Humanity International in 1976 with a goal of eliminating poverty housing worldwide. To date, affiliates like Central Minnesota Habitat for Humanity have built over 300,000 homes around the world and housed over 1.5 million people.
Fuller passed away in February of this year, and this resolution acknowledges his incredible and important legacy. In 2007, he visited Central Minnesota and attended a ceremony at our Elk River home. CMHFH is dedicating our Big Lake Build Project to his memory, to be started this summer.

Donovan Lakes/Waters Edge Project In St. Cloud Officially Begun
On Monday, March 30 Central Minnesota Habitat for Humanity held a ceremonial ribbon cutting marking the official beginning of our 4-home project at Donovan Lakes. These homes were bought in foreclosure and will be finished by CMHFH to create affordable homeownership options for local families in need.
Three of the families that will be moving into the homes in the next two years were present at the ribbon cutting as well as St. Cloud HRA president, Bruce Thielman, CMHFH Executive Director, Bruce Johnson, and representatives of the CMHFH Board, staff, volunteers, and families.
We are excited to have the opportunity to strengthen our community by taking forclosed properties off the market and turning them into lifelong homes for local families. If you would like to be involved by volunteering on this project or have questions about how to become a CMHFH homeowner, contact Laurie at (320) 656-8890 x3.
