Announcing “Friend of HFH” Program!

We are so excited to launch a new giving program! Our Friend of Habitat for Hope program will enable those of you that would like to donate on a monthly basis to do so quickly and easily. Additionally, if you sign up for a monthly partnership before September 30, you will recieve an HFH tshirt and a audio recording of Louie Giglio’s sermon HOPE-When Life Hurts Most.

Why should you designate as a Friend of HFH? Because:

Since mid-2006, Habitat for Hope has served nearly 300 families. On average, HFH has provided consistent acute care for a length of 6 months per family. Families are cared for holistically; HFH meets many practical needs, while relationship-building and emotional support remain our top priority. Nearly 125 families have been lodged – up to an 18-month long length of stay.

HFH can only continue to grow through the gifts of friends – we need your help to continue our work in Memphis, while working to plant new outposts in other cities in the region and working toward the expansion of the Shelby Forest property. Will you join with us today? Click below!
