PUT YOUR FAITH INTO ACTION.
Habitat for Humanity of Hillsborough County is hosting its annual Faith Build in the fall to help a local family in need of safe, affordable housing. We invite local congregations to help raise the roof, funds and prayers to make a difference right in our own community! Please check back soon for the build dates and more details on our next Faith Build.
A build event powered by people and passion.
HABITAT FOR HUMANITY is a Christian ministry with a mission to put God’s love into action by bringing people together to build homes, communities and hope.
Join us for a life-changing experience.
Faith Build brings members of local congregations together to live out their faith in a new way. Together we can help a family begin their journey to strength, stability and independence through affordable homeownership. Experience first hand how God touches the hearts of new homeowners – and the volunteers who work alongside them.
