Illinois Wesleyan's campus chapter is a student-led, student-initiated organization that partners with the local Habitat affiliate, McLean County, to fulfill the four functions of a campus chapter. The four functions of a campus chapter are: building, fundraising, advocating and educating.

Illinois Wesleyan Habitat for Humanity's chapter also partners with Illinois State University as they work together to build a home for a local family in need and raise $40,000 a year through fundraising events. Members build every Saturday morning from 8am-12pm during the academic school year and attend and partcipate in weekly meetings. Students enjoy volunteering their time to better their community.
