This week, we're celebrating Pope Leo XIV's 70th Birthday! In recognition of his commitment to social justice, service, and unity, Habitat for Humanity of Greater Cincinnati is launching a special challenge. We're calling on our incredible community to help us achieve 70 donations this week to bolster the  Pope Leo Village Campaign. And here's the best part: every single gift given this week in honor of Pope Leo will be matched dollar-for-dollar by a generous anonymous donor, effectively doubling your contribution and bringing us closer to a world where everyone has a decent place to call home.


What is the Pope Leo Village Campaign? The Pope Leo Village Campaign is a truly inspiring initiative, deeply rooted in Pope Leo XIV’s vision of serving others, fostering peace, and promoting unity. An anonymous donor, moved by these principles, has pledged to partially sponsor the construction of nine new homes right here in Covington, in partnership with Habitat for Humanity of Greater Cincinnati. This local effort is part of a larger multi-city project across the country, aiming to build 200 homes in total.


Your donation this week holds extraordinary power, especially with the added boost of our anonymous donor's matching gift. Your contribution is an investment with a multiplier effect, creating profound and lasting change for families and communities.

The matching gift means that for every dollar you contribute, another dollar is added, effectively doubling the financial resources available. This critical funding helps us reach our goal to fully fund and build the nine Pope Leo homes in Covington more quickly, allowing more families to build and buy their homes sooner.


Your gift directly confronts the pressing issue of unaffordable housing. In our region a growing number of residents live in housing they can't afford. Families are making impossible choices between rent and other basic needs. The Pope Leo Village provides direct necessary opportunities for affordable homeownership in our region.


Join the Pope Leo Village Campaign and be a part of something bigger. The Pope Leo Village is YOU. By donating, you are standing with thousands of people across the country that are inspired by a vision of community and service to others. We know that together, we can build brighter futures and stronger communities. It all starts with a home.


Join us in celebrating Pope Leo's 70th Birthday by helping us reach 70 donations this week! Your matched gift will make twice the difference.
