Habitat for Humanity Niagara is a non-profit housing organization that encourages diversity and cooperation among people of different religions and backgrounds. Members of churches, mosques, and synagogues work together on our construction sites, and our homeowners are selected by need, without regard to race or religion.
Everyone can use the hammer as an instrument to manifest God's love. Habitat founder, Millard Fuller, calls this concept "the theology of the hammer," explaining, "we may disagree on all sorts of other things... but we can agree on the idea of building homes with God's people in need, and in doing so using biblical economics: no profit and no interest." Habitat is a partnership founded on common ground -- bridging theological differences by putting love into action.
Working with Habitat for Humanity provides a tangible opportunity to “live out” your faith. We have a variety of meaningful ways your congregation can put their faith into action -- volunteer activities, fundraising, ReStore and meal donations, family selection support and ongoing spiritual encouragement for families in need.
