Habitat Coalition

Habitat Interfaith Alliance
For 9 years the Hebrew Educational Alliance has been involved in an interfaith coalition affiliated with Habitat for Humanity of Metro Denver. The coalition is currently on its 10th build, for the Gebe-Robe family. Over the years the coalition has grown, this year adding a 13th member congregation, St. Andrew United Methodist Church. Every year we raise the money needed to build a Habitat for Humanity home in Metro Denver, currently $85,000, and then we build the home.

The 6 synagogues and 7 churches in the coalition are: B’nai Havurah, Central Christian Church, Christ the King Catholic Church, First Unitarian Universalist Church, Hebrew Educational Alliance, Prairie Unitarian Church, Rodef Shalom, St. Andrew United Methodist Church, St. John’s Episcopal Cathedral, Temple Emanuel, Temple Micah, Temple Sinai, and Trinity United Methodist Church.

Throughout the year we need people to help with our major fundraisers: a pumpkin patch in the fall, an interfaith soup dinner in the winter, a book sale in late winter, and a golf tournament in late spring. We always need people to help with our build as well.
