Habitat for Humanity of Frederick County - About Habitat of Frederick

Habitat for Humanity of Frederick County, MD is a 501(c) (3) non-profit organization. Established in Frederick in 1993 as an affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International, our mission is to build affordable housing for families in need. Habitat for Humanity works in partnership with God and people everywhere, to develop communities in which every person can experience God’s love and can live and grow into all that God intends.

Over the past 17 years, Habitat has built or renovated 30 homes, transforming the lives of 111 adults and children. We have mobilized over 2,000 volunteers, and trained each partner family in budgeting, home repair, safety, and maintenance. The homes are scattered throughout Frederick County in communities like Middletown, Brunswick, Frederick City, Thurmont, Emmitsburg, and Buckeystown.

We partner with hardworking Frederick County families who cannot qualify for a conventional mortgage and have no other way to own a home of their own. Our partner families, work side-by-side with volunteers from the community to build their home.

Concerned and motivated people from all walks of life have come together to make Habitat homes a reality in Frederick County. Churches, businesses, and individuals volunteer to support Habitat's mission. They raise funds, build homes, work with partner families, and help with administrative work. Volunteers are the heart and soul of Habitat.
