🙏 Since our beginning in 1976, Habitat has been built on a foundation of faith. Coming from a desire to put God’s love into action, our mission is to build safe, affordable housing in the U.S. and around the world. No experience is necessary to volunteer, and all faith groups are welcome.

Before the first walls were raised for Tuscaloosa Habitat's Faith Build, representatives from the partner churches gathered in a circle on the foundation of Brittany & Marcell's future home to pray together. One by one, each church shared a portion of a collective prayer, asking for God's blessing over the home, the family, and every volunteer who will help bring it to life. 🙏

Our 2026 Faith Build is off to a great start, and now we need your help!

To our Faith Build partner churches—it's time to put your faith into action by serving alongside Brittany, Marcell, and their family as we build their future home.

Individuals: Sign up to volunteer at https://www.habitattuscaloosa.org/volunteer

Church groups: To schedule a group build day, please email Volunteer Coordinator Caroline Muller at [email protected].

Thank you to each of our Faith Build partner churches for making this project possible. We can't wait to see you on the build site! 🏠❤️
