Lexington Habitat for Humanity hosts the Shamrock Shuffle 3K on Saturday, March 14 beginning at the Robert F. Stephens Courthouse Plaza.

Register now to walk, shuffle, and kick-o your St. Patrick’s Day celebration the right way with Lexington Habitat for Humanity.

When you shuffle, you help local families in need of affordable housing with 100% of the net proceeds from this race directly benefiting Lexington Habitat.

Founded in 1986, Lexington Habitat for Humanity is driven by the vision that everyone deserves a decent place to live. For the past 30 years, Lexington Habitat has been building, preserving, and repairing homes throughout the community. The non-profit organization, with the help of volunteers from the community, allow Lexington Habitat home buyers to build their own homes and pay an affordable mortgage, while others are given the opportunity to repair and preserve their homes.
