Partnering with Churches to End Poverty Housing
Habitat for Humanity is about tearing down walls and building bridges. It is about bringing hope and transforming lives. It is about serving God by serving others.

The vision of Habitat is that all people will have a decent place in which to live. Trust in God propels this movement forward and helps change bring hope. As a nonprofit ecumenical Christian housing ministry, Habitat and churches in the Desert Foothills community are natural partners. By working together, we can serve God's people and provide simple, decent housing to low-income families.
 
How do churches partner with Habitat for Humanity Desert Foothills?

Habitat's ministry is based on the conviction that to follow the teachings of Jesus Christ we must reflect Christ's love in our own lives by loving and caring for one another. Our love must not be words only—it must be true love, which shows itself in action. Habitat provides an opportunity for people to put their faith and love into action, bringing diverse groups of people together to make affordable housing and better communities a reality for everyone.

Through Prayer
Every home is built through prayer. Prayer is foundational to our mission as we partner together as witnesses of Jesus Christ in the world. Our prayer network offers diligent prayer for people in need of shelter and for those who respond to that need.

Through Service
Habitat homes are affordable because of the volunteers who devote their time to serve their neighbor. Build strength and unity within your congregation as you work toward the common goal of helping others.

Through Giving
The Lenten calendar program is a great way to involve families.  HFHDF provides the calendar and house bank and families participate during the Lenten season by following the calendar and making daily donations to the bank.
