Partner Church Ministry
Habitat for Humanity
Habitat for Humanity International (HFHI)
is a nonprofit, ecumenical Christian housing ministry. Habitat works in
partnership with people in need to build and renovate decent, affordable
housing. The houses then are sold to Habitat's partner families, at no profit
and with no interest charged. Partner families invest hundreds of hours of their
own labor -- "sweat equity" -- into building their homes and the homes of
others.
The Board of Directors of the Nevada Area Affiliate is a active group of local
volunteers. This group has overseen the completion of eight projects since
forming in 1993. They raise funds for these projects through donations, a
monthly baked potato dinner and the annual rummage sale.
