Faith Partnerships
Habitat for Humanity was born from a vision of belonging, service and justice, fueled by a commitment to turn faith into meaningful action. Today, our faith partners remain a cornerstone of the mission to build homes, communities, and hope.
Orange Habitat’s Faith Partnerships are a collective of faith-based communities and student groups within Orange County that give their time, treasure, and talents as an investment in their neighbors and an expression of God’s love and compassion. Read more about Orange Habitat’s history and faith beginnings.
Pope Leo Village
In summer 2026, we launched Pope Leo Village, an initiative made possible by an anonymous donor inspired by Pope Leo’s vision of community, service, and shared humanity. This generous contribution will help fund the construction of eight new townhomes within our Weavers Grove neighborhood in Chapel Hill. The initiative also aims to engage faith and youth partners in meaningful, hands-on service and inspire new philanthropic investment in affordable housing.
Ways to Partner
Serving
Schedule a group build day with your faith community! We rely on our amazing volunteers for nearly every step of the building process. We also welcome individual volunteers to register for regular build days or special programs like Women Build.
Formation
Partnering with Habitat can be a means of spiritual formation for your faith community. Opportunities include:
- Invite Orange Habitat to speak or host seminars about affordable housing, personal finance, or home maintenance.
- Engage families with kid-friendly activities like LEGO house-building parties, making cards or gift baskets for homeowners, or assembling toolbox kits for Habitat homes.
- Plan a build day with a different faith community.
- Participate in a Global Village international trip.
Giving
Put your faith into action by supporting our work. We offer a number of giving options, including:
- Our Annual Fund fuels the people, programs, and tools that make our work possible.
- Auman Village Capital Campaign pledges support our newest neighborhood of 75 homes in Hillsborough.
- In-kind donations build creative partnership by providing meals, supplies, services, and facilities.
