Celebrating 20 years of service in Gaston County

 

Habitat for Humanity of Gaston County is a non-profit, ecumenical, Christian-based organization that uses volunteer labor to build low cost homes in partnership with those in need here in Gaston County and in Honduras. Habitat’s simple, affordable homes have no-interest mortgages. Mortgage money from homeowners is

recycled back into building more Habitat homes.

 

 

Habitat gives families a

“hand up, not a hand out”

Our philosophy is based on the “Theology of the Hammer”, the theory that people of all backgrounds can come together to work for the betterment of local families and communities.

Shelter from rain, wind and sun is a basic human need.  With your help, more deserving families can have decent places to call home.

 
   
 

Volunteer workdays are held on Saturdays, beginning at 8:00 AM and continuing into the mid-afternoon if necessary. Weekday volunteers needed too.

“We’re making an impact together. We’re tending the wounds that poverty housing inflicts upon our neighbors. We’re helping them renew the feeling of dignity substandard housing steals away. Like the Good Samaritan, we’re committed to compassion, justice and mercy. In whatever way we engage in Habitat for Humanity’s mission, we’re stopping for our neighbors along the way — and lives are being transformed in the process — starting with mine, and perhaps with yours as well.” — Jonathan Reckford, Habitat for Humanity CEO
