Habitat for Humanity International is a nonprofit, ecumenical Christian housing ministry. HFHI seeks to eliminate poverty housing and homelessness from the world, and to make decent shelter a matter of conscience and action. Habitat invites people of all backgrounds, races and religions to build houses together in partnership with families in need. Habitat has built more than 225,000 houses around the world, providing more than 1 million people in more than 3,000 communities with safe, decent, affordable shelter. HFHI was founded in 1976 by Millard Fuller along with his wife, Linda.

St. Matthew United Methodist Church, as a member of the Mighty Methodist Coalition, has a long-standing tradition of contributing funding and manpower to Habitat for Humanity-Valley of the Sun. Our most recent build was in Spring 2011 for the Aguirre Family.

• Volunteer at our next build dates (to be announced). For more information, contact HFH Coordinator Marlene Seitz.
