Lancaster Lebanon Habitat for Humanity


Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church—East Petersburg—Pennsylvania

Lancaster Lebanon Habitat for Humanity is a nonprofit organization that helps families build and improve places to call home. We believe affordable housing plays a critical role in strong and stable communities.

Habitat’s homeownership program offers a path to an affordable, decent home for first-time homebuyers in Lancaster and Lebanon Counties.Future homebuyers and their families will build strength, stability and self-sufficiency as they work through the program — prior to purchasing their Habitat home with a zero-percent interest mortgage that is tailored to fit their budget.

Affordable home inventory is at an all-time low. Our community is in urgent need for more affordable housing opportunities that are centered on lower-income families. Please consider joining our team of sponsors and supporters who have helped with previous builds. Visit our Support Us pages to learn how you can make homeownership a reality.

You do not need to wield a hammer to volunteer with Habitat. There are so many ways that you can get involved. Our volunteer program offers a wide range of charitable activities for every kind of skill. If you have any questions regarding your participation, please contact Audrey Lilley at audrey@llhfh.org.

Volunteering for construction is one important way to contribute. If that is not an option, please consider making a financial donation.
