Since its beginning in 1976, Habitat for Humanity’s foundation is built on faith. Our mission is to build safe, affordable housing with people in the United States and around the world, and that comes from a desire to put God’s love into action.

We are God’s hands and feet, here to serve others and show them His love. The tangible experiences that Habitat for Humanity provides allow you to engage those around you, live your faith, and offer a unique opportunity to love your neighbor. You’ll also have the opportunity to work alongside future Habitat homeowners.

In Orange County, our local affiliate was founded with support from Sam Wilburn and the late Reverend Robert Seymour, among others, at Binkley Baptist Church in Chapel Hill.  Click here to read more about Orange Habitat’s history and faith beginnings.
