Faith in Action

Greater Lynchburg Habitat for Humanity was founded in 1988 by a dynamic collective of churches who were moved to put their faith into action to help ease the affordable housing shortage in our area. We hold our roots dear and are actively seeking out more local congregations to join our mission to build homes, community, and hope.
Who does Habitat build for?

Our homes are built for individuals and families who have a demonstrated need for housing, can pay an affordable mortgage, and are willing to partner with us to help build homes & take classes to prepare them to be successful homeowners. Habitat offers local families in need a hand up – not a hand out – and empowers them to build strength, stability, and self-reliance through shelter.

Ways to become a Faith Partner:

Partnering with us means your congregation can become a part of this mission that puts faith into action and has a generational impact on our community.

Our greatest need is financial support to sponsor this home. This page will be updated with sponsorship levels in the coming weeks. 

You congregation can also:

  • Volunteer together – Learn more here or contact volunteer@GLHFH.org
  • Provide meals on the construction site
  • Host donation drives for construction materials
  • Compile “Welcome Home Baskets” for Habitat Homeowners
  • Pray collectively for our mission and for Habitat Homeowners

For more information about becoming a Faith Build Sponsor, please contact Donna Vincent at dvincent@GLHFH.org or call (434) 528-3774.

Help feed our Volunteers

Building a better world is hungry work! You can sign up to provide a lunch or coffee and breakfast goodies for our construction crew on the construction site to help fuel all their good work. If hammers and ladders aren’t your thing or you’re not available for a full day of volunteering, this is a great way to get involved, build community, and support our mission! 

We are on the construction site on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. We welcome meals on any of those days and the headcount is usually around 12, but we will confirm that with you as we get closer to your date.

Contact Kathryn at volunteer@GLHFH.org or (434) 528-3774 for more information or to sign up! 

Invite us to speak

Would your congregation like to hear more about the impact Habitat is making in our community and how to get involved? Spreading the word about how Habitat changes lives, builds brighter futures, and puts faith into action is such a joy and we’d love to share it with you.

We can:

  • speak to your congregation on Sunday morning
  • meet with your small group
  • plan a message or activity for youth

You can also let us know if you have something else in mind and how we can participate. Contact Kathryn at volunteer@GLHFH.org or (434) 528-3774 to learn more!
