One of 14 covenant churches, The Memorial Church of the Prince of Peace, Gettysburg, recently gifted the nonprofit Adams County Habitat for Humanity with a $1,000 donation.

Covenant churches provide the organization with financial support as well as volunteer labor in their mission to provide homes with interest-free mortgages to deserving, low-income families in Adams County.

Adams County Habitat for Humanity, a 501 (c) (3), follows the vision of Habitat for Humanity International: A world where everyone has a decent place to live. And the mission of Habitat for Humanity International is as follows: Seeking to put God’s love into action, Habitat for Humanity brings people together to build homes, communities and hope.
