Community Flag Program
Flags for Housing Program
Join us in supporting our community through Habitat Bulloch’s Flags for Housing Program.
Your support helps us keep up with rising construction costs and aids in our mission to make homeownership affordable for low-income families in Bulloch County while fostering stability and self-reliance in our community.
A flag subscription also makes a great gift for a friend, neighbor or family member.
Business Flags for Housing Program
For a minimum of $100 annual contribution, you will receive US and Georgia Southern flags to display in front of your business. The new business flag season will begin with Georgia Southern flags distributed before the first home football game on August 31st, 2024, and will continue through Independence Day, July 4th, 2025.
Your $100 donation will secure Georgia Southern flags for six home football games, Fall and Spring Commencement Days, and potentially a bowl game.
Additionally, businesses will receive US flags for key dates, including Patriot Day, Election Day, Veterans Day, Memorial Day, FlagDay, Juneteenth, and Independence Day.
You can also purchase additional US and Georgia Southern flags for
$50 each, either for the same location or an additional site in Statesboro.
Residential Flags for Housing Program
For a minimum $60 annual contribution to the Habitat Flag Program, Habitat volunteers will bring you a flag mounted on a Habitat Bulloch branded flag pole which you can fly on the following holidays: Memorial Day, Flag Day, Independence Day, Labor Day through Patriot Day (9/11) and Veterans Day. Some neighborhoods have a volunteer who will set out and take down the flag for you if you are not able to do this for yourself.
Each year our goal is to fly more than 500 flags in front of Bulloch County homes which would represent $30,000 raised for low income housing.
Flag volunteers needed!
Habitat would like to continue our service of setting out and taking up flags for participants in the program who are not physically able to do it for themselves. We need new volunteers to set up the flags in some of the neighborhoods that we already serve, and must have new volunteers to expand this service to new neighborhoods. If you would like to volunteer to help the Flags for Housing Program to your neighborhood in a bigger way, please contact Marcus Toole at 912-489-2076, ext 203.
