Build Homes with Habitat for Humanity
Habitat for Humanity believes that every man, woman and child should have a decent, safe and affordable place to live. Our partner families purchase these houses through no-profit, no-interest mortgage loans or innovative financing methods.
We will be building and repairing houses in our community and in a special weeklong national project. Learn more about Habitat for Humanity at www.habitat.org |

Support the Education of Children
Donors Choose makes it easy for anyone to help a classroom in need, moving us closer to a nation where students in every community have the tools and experiences they need for a great education.
Throughout the year we will be selecting a variety of Donors Choose projects - designed by teachers in lower income schools - to support the education of students. All of the money goes directly to the teachers and students. |
Assemble Promise Packs for Refugees
Children fleeing violence need our help today! Millions are escaping the violence to see refuge in neighboring countries, yet lack access to basic necessities.
Together with World Vision, we will be building Promise Packs for children in countries impacted by the refugee crisis. Promise Packs are filled with personal care items, a blanket, school supplies, and a note of encouragement. These items provide comfort and care for vulnerable children. |

About 50 million people in the United States live below the poverty line (In 2014- $23,850 for a family of 4) and one in four American children lives in poverty. But what is poverty in America? What defines “the line” and how can the church and community make a difference?
