Manchester UMC & Habitat for Humanity St. Louis
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.

HFHSTL now offers a flexible sign-up process for weekday volunteers. While Manchester UMC no longer has a dedicated “Wednesday Crew,” individuals can choose their own work dates directly with Habitat. Volunteers can view build locations, tasks, and the number of helpers needed throughout the week.
Tip: Many Manchester UMC members coordinate with each other to volunteer on the same day and carpool to the site!
Please note: All volunteers (except ReStore volunteers) must attend a volunteer orientation before participating. Learn more about individual opportunities here.
