How Can My Church or Organization Help?WORKING WITH CHURCHESCongregations of all sizes can participate in Habitat for Humanity's work locally, and around the world. For example: Large congregations can raise the money and provide the labor to fund and build a house on their own. Medium and small congregations also can build a house on their own, or they can join with other neighborhood congregations to raise the money and build a house together. Any congregation can make a cash donation, offer in-kind goods and services, supply construction workers, provide food for workers or support building projects in other ways. Potential Partner Families can be identified by a church and encouraged to apply to Habitat.
