"Our love should not be just
words and talk;
it must be true Love,
which shows itself in action."

Current Projects and Opportunities

Youth United
Youth groups are a great place to begin a relationship with Habitat for Humanity Kansas City. Youth United is a national program of Habitat for Humanity International, and we just completed our first youth sponsored build in Spring 2010!  

Great ways for youth to get involved are:

  • doing an aluminum can drive thru our Cans for Habitat KC program
  • the Make Change program
  • hosting a food drive for our pantry
  • making gifts for homeowner families
  • Act!Speak!Build! Week                                     and more!

 If your youth group would like to get involved, please contact us.


Christ Community Evangelical Free Church
For the past six years, Christ Community has sponsored and led volunteers to build homes with Habitat KC.  For 2010, they are once again planning a one and a half month "modified blitz build" in June.  As our strongest church supporter, Christ Community is an example of what the faith community can accomplish.

The House that Abraham Builds

The Christian, Jewish and Muslim communities came together with Habitat KC for the first time in 2007.  Working together, volunteers from all three Abrahamic traditions raised funds and gave their time to build a home for a Kansas City family. In the process of working together on this project, we accomplish the following:
•    Promote interfaith fellowship
•    Increase awareness and support of Habitat Kansas City in a variety of faith communities
•    Promote partnerships between Habitat and participating congregations
•    Build a new Habitat home for a Kansas City family in need
We all agree that every one who falls asleep at night deserves a roof above her head – a place to call home. We were excited to complete our second "House of Abraham" in 2009 and are currently planning for the 2011 project. If you or your faith community would like more information, please contact Mandy at 816-924-1096 extension 105.
