Home

HFH Lincoln County is a locally run affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International, a nonprofit, ecumenical Christian housing organization. Habitat for Humanity works in partnership with people in need to build and renovate decent, affordable housing. The houses then are sold to those in need at no profit and with no interest charged.

Hammers

Volunteers provide most of the labor, and individual and corporate donors provide money and materials to build Habitat houses. Partner families themselves invest hundreds of hours of labor - "sweat equity" - into building their homes and the homes of others. Their mortgage payments go into a revolving Fund for Humanity that is used to build more houses.

Call the office 601-823-4061 to see if a day has been scheduled. Sorry, but the weather keeps us from scheduling ahead so some time we have to give short notice. Work starts at 8:00 a.m. on Saturdays and will continue as long as we have workers. There will always be some kind of work you can do, so don't let not having carpentry skilles keep you from coming out and help build it.

"As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men," Galatians 6:10.

Who has the time to volunteer these days? Habitat volunteers make the time. We believe in giving back because we have been given so much. Our volunteers are often involved in church and community activities and they are always willing to do more. What will you build?
