What is Faith Build?

Grab a hammer and help build a home for a local family in need of safe, decent and affordable housing!

This year, DuPage Habitat for Humanity and Thrivent Financial have partnered for an inaugural Faith Build bringing together congregations like yours to fund and build a home for a family in need. DuPage Habitat strives to ensure every person has a safe, decent affordable home and opportunity to build a better life.  We believe this calling unites us, and strive to work together with our community to build safe and affordable shelter that provides a hand up to our neighbors.  

When is it?

Faith Build is an ongoing event through December 2018 with build days available Wednesday through Saturday.
