It's MAGIK! What is MAGIK, you may ask?

• MAGIK is bringing together vendors, distributors, sellers, and manufacturers in joining Habitat for Humanity of McLean County (HFHMC) in their mission to end poverty housing in the Bloomington/Normal area. Our MAGIK-al supporters supply NEW building materials, labor and services in order to keep the construction costs down on our homes.

"How does my company become MAGIK-al?"

• Your company can become MAGIK-al by donating goods or services to HFHMC in our effort to end poverty housing!

"How will my company benefit from being MAGIK-al?"

 Your company will benefit in many ways from becoming a MAGIK-al supporter, including:

• Association with the Habitat for Humanity brand. Did you know that Habitat for Humanity’s Brand Identity is valued at $1.83 billion by Interbrand?  This values Habitat ahead of Polo/Ralph Lauren, FedEx and 3M.
• Association with an organization that people know, trust, and support. In the United States, nearly 9 out of 10 people judged Habitat for Humanity as effective or very effective – more effective than organizations such as Red Cross and the United Way.
• You will be eligible for tax benefits for the labor and/ or materials you donate.
• Your company will allow one more family the opportunity of owning their own home, while at the same time supporting community revitalization efforts in the greater Bloomington/Normal area!
