Habitat for Humanity will dedicate a home Saturday in honor of Pope Francis.
An anonymous donor offered Habitat for Humanity Quad Cities a $60,000 gift to fund a home. The donor had three instructions for the organization: honor Pope Francis's commitment to social justice, provide unifying work for Catholic and non-Catholic volunteers working toward a common goal and further Habitat's mission for building homes.

The local Iowa Knights of Columbus, Wells Fargo and donations from nearby parishes and schools funded the rest of the construction.
Bishop Martin Amos of the Iowa Catholic Diocese will bless the home during the dedicatoin.
Avita Hicks will purchase her new home for $80,000 with a no interest loan from Habitat.
