Habitat for Humanity of St. Francois County, Inc. would like to THANK each and every one of you who play a part in our mission, and we look forward to your continued support into the future. We could not do the work that we do without the support of our Volunteers, Donors and other Supporters!
Habitat for Humanity of St. Francois County, Inc. (HFH-SFC) is a non-profit, ecumenical, Christian-based house building organization dedicated to eliminating substandard housing within St. Francois County. We welcome all people to join us as we build simple, decent, affordable houses in partnership with those who lack adequate shelter. Our local Habitat affiliate, along with many others around the world, coordinate house building and select partner families. Habitat houses are purchased by the homeowner families. These factors make the houses affordable to low-income people worldwide.
- Homeowners and volunteers build the houses under trained supervision.
- Individuals, corporations, faith groups and others provide financial support.
Currently building our 34th and 35th homes in St. Francois County!
Thank you for helping us continue this great cause and realize our mission!
