Religious Partners

Habitat for Humanity was founded as a Christian-based organization, but is not limited to Christians. We welcome people of all faiths as volunteers and homeowners. To foster working relationships with congregations of all creeds, DC Habitat has developed the Religious Partnership Committee. Members of this group work with local churches, synagogues, and temples to coordinate donations and volunteers, organize mailings, and make presentations on the mission and work of DC Habitat.

The Religious Partnership Committee regularly organizes groups from parishes and congregations to volunteer on build sites, donate and serve lunch to volunteers, and help with special projects throughout the year.

"...changed how I related to the future homeowners, people who find themselves in need of help. They are just like me, wanting a safe, warm place to live for themselves and their families."
