Mission Statement

Seeking to put God’s love into action, Habitat for Humanity brings people together to build homes, communities, and hope. We partner with people in your community and all over the world to help them build or improve a place they can call home.

Through our work, we strive to achieve our vision of a world where everyone has a decent place to live.
