Saint matthew’s AND habitat for humanity
Since 1998, Saint Matthew’s has help fund and build decent, safe and affordable homes in the Phoenix metro area and around the world. We have helped to complete 42 local and 36 international homes. Some of those families have had their children grow up and attend college. Over the years, many members of Saint Matthew’s have helped make this dream come true. As volunteers, individuals learn the skills needed to build a house.
294 people and counting
We often meet the future homeowners on site as they help with construction and their entire family at the first day wall raising and last day dedication. Volunteers need zero experience to help at the construction site. Training on safety, tools, and the process will happen at the beginning of the day. Over the years, we have helped provide shelter to 294 people.

Supporting HAbitat for humanity
You can support the habitat outreach program by leaving a check with Habitat in the memo line. In addition, Habitat accepts in kind donations for construction and if you are planning a remodel, the Habitat staff will remove unwanted cabinets and appliances that will be sold in the ReStore to help fund the mission. You can also donate a car!
One of the most common miss-conceptions is that the Habitat houses are given away. That is not the case. The future homeowner will apply and qualify for a zero interest loan, funded by Habitat. The payments on that mortgage helps fund future land purchases and building expenses.
