• Habitat for Humanity: Habitat for Humanity is a global nonprofit housing organization working in local communities across all 50 states in the U.S. and in approximately 70 countries. Habitat’s vision is of a world where everyone has a decent place to live. Habitat works toward our vision by building strength, stability and self-reliance in partnership with families in need of decent and affordable housing. Habitat homeowners help build their own homes alongside volunteers and pay an affordable mortgage. If you are interested in helping MBPC with the Presbytery's Habitat for Humanity project, please contact our church office by emailing sgregson@mbpcusa.org to sign up as a volunteer.
