Building Community
Faith Build
All faiths welcome!
PUT YOUR FAITH INTO ACTION.
Habitat for Humanity of Tampa Bay Hillsborough is hosting its annual Faith Build to help build 8 homes for local families in need of safe, affordable housing. We invite local congregations and people of faith to help volunteer, donate and pray to make a difference right in our own community!
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.
Thanks to an anonymous donor all donations will be matched so your donation will go twice as far! This donor has named the 8 homes we are building "Pope Leo Village" in honor of the first American Pope. All faiths are welcome to join in donating and volunteering to build homes for 8 families in need of a safe, decent place to call home.
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 8 families 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.
