Habitat for Humanity of Craven County

A decent home provides the strength, stability and independence that families need, and Habitat for Humanity’s vision is a world where everyone has a decent place to live.

​

Habitat homeowners pay an affordable mortgage, receive financial education and help build their homes alongside volunteers.

​

In addition to annual financial support, Centenary UMC also supplies housing and meals to students who come during spring break for Habitat’s Collegiate Challenge. Many members from the church volunteer either as part of Habitat’s Volunteer “Die Hards” who work on building sites on Tuesday and Thursday mornings or in the office or Re-Store.
