Habitat for Humanity:
Creating Pathways to Affordable Homeownership
Faith Coalition of Lancaster County – November Gathering
Wednesday, November 12 | 12:00–1:00 PM
Eastridge Presbyterian Church | 1135 Eastridge Drive, Lincoln
How do we move from housing instability toward lasting shelter and belonging?
Join us as we welcome Theresa Gerlach, Director of Homeowner & Volunteer Services, and Jake Hanshaw, Ambassador for Faith Relations, both with Habitat for Humanity of Lincoln.
Through affordable homeownership, home repairs, and systems-level advocacy, Habitat Lincoln is empowering individuals and families to build strength, stability, and self-reliance through shelter. Theresa and Jake will share how Habitat works in our community—and how local faith communities can help build a future where everyone has a place to call home.
Attend in person (bring a brown bag lunch) or join us via Zoom (link below)
Let’s learn together how to make shelter and belonging a reality for more of our neighbors.
