Building Homes, Building Hope, Building St. Louis

Manchester UMC is proud to partner with Habitat for Humanity St. Louis (HFHSTL) to provide safe, affordable housing for families in need. Since 1997, our volunteers have worked alongside future homeowners, contributing to the construction of many of the 430+ Habitat homes in St. Louis city and county. As a Keystone Community Partner, we remain committed to transforming lives through homeownership and fulfilling our mission to Love God and Love Neighbor.
