"At Habitat for Humanity of Greater LA partnership with the faith
community is one of our most important priorities. As people of faith put their
beliefs into action, homes are built and families are changed. We could not
successfully complete the work that we do without the power and financial
support of our faith partners. Together we can create a sustainable impact in
the Los Angeles area."
- Erin Rank, President & CEO HFH GLA

Our love should not be just words and talk; it must be true love, which shows itself in action. - 1 John 3:18 NASB
Congregations of all sizes can support Habitat for Humanity in a variety of ways.

Reasons to get involved:
- Habitat projects can help build any faith organization. A Habitat project can be just the spark that gets people in your organization excited about working with the community.
- Building together allows people to put their faith in action.
- The opportunity to work on a Habitat for Humanity build site can attract visitors and offers opportunities to build relationships.
- Individuals can experience spiritual growth through their service to others.
- Lives are changed.
"Today I have faith in God and confidence in myself. I believe there is hope for us because of organizations like Habitat for Humanity"
