Our Sponsor this month is Habitat for Humanity
In 1976, Habitat for Humanity International (HFHI) began as a nonprofit, ecumenical Christian housing ministry. HFHI’s stated mission is to eliminate poverty housing and homelessness from the world and to make decent shelter a matter of conscience and action. People of all backgrounds, races, and religions are invited to build houses together in partnership with families in need. Since 1976, HFHI has built more than 50,000 houses in the United States and another 100,000-plus homes in communities around the world. Habitat has operations in 92 countries, and a house is built every 26 minutes.
