Finally, and greatly needed, Pray for us and our partners.  Remembering our faith-based affiliate and its work in prayer is an important way to offer support.  Perhaps you are not able to support the work financially or as a volunteer, but you can pray.  In so doing, you become an important part of the community that builds Habitat houses and carries the mission of the affiliate to the people around us.  You are invited to go to the contact page and send a note to let us know you are praying. Those of us who serve as staff, as members of committees, and on the Board of Directors appreciate it!
