Habitat for Humanity
Our Mission
Beginning in 1999, we have teamed with Habitat for Humanity of San Antonio, Inc. (HFHSA) to build an affordable home every year here in San Antonio & Guadalupe Valley. Habitat for Humanity of San Antonio, Inc. (HFHSA) is an ecumenical Christian non-profit housing organization working in partnership with God’s people in need to build decent and affordable houses without interest or profit, thereby witnessing God’s love in action.
Our 2026 Build
Habitat for Humanity San Antonio is building a house in 50 hours! You heard it – one home – 50 consecutive hours to celebrate their 50th Anniversary. Additionally, they are looking for volunteers to participate in 2-hour shifts to build as many walls as possible around the clock. These interior and exterior walls will be used in future Habitat homes. This challenge calls for more than 1,800 volunteers! St. Francis of Assisi is asked to provide 20 hammer wielding volunteers to help build walls on Friday, 17 July at 4PM. Can you help? You can sign up at St. Francis Catholic Church:
A Typical Construction Day
Sign-in starts at 7:45 am. Volunteers must sign-in each day they volunteer, and complete a waiver of liability each year (volunteers under age 18 need a guardian’s signature). Volunteers will be introduced to their house leader, who will provide direction for the day.
Adult Liability Waivers
Each volunteer must read and sign the “Release and Waiver of Liability” before volunteering on a Habitat for Humanity of San Antonio site. Please complete this form and hand it in to a Habitat for Humanity of San Antonio staff member before you volunteer.
Minor Liability Waiver
Each minor volunteer and their legal guardian must read and sign the “Release & Waiver of Liability” before volunteering on a Habitat for Humanity site. Complete this form and hand it in to a Habitat for Humanity of San Antonio staff member before you volunteer.
