Habitat for Humanity International is a Christian organization and welcomes volunteers from all faiths who are committed to Habitat's goal of eliminating poverty housing.
Prison Partnership

        

Since 2001, female prisoners from the Linda Woodman State Jail have volunteered weekly on Waco Habitat construction sites. Their participation ---  now at 3 days a week on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday --- has allowed Waco Habitat to build more homes. The prisoners provide valuable weekday assistance while learning useful skills in a supportive environment. The Prison Partnership program was designed by Habitat for Humanity International and facilitates a cooperative effort between Habitat for Humanity affiliates and correctional institutions. Photos

Waco Habitat needs meal providers for the Prisoner Partnership.   If you / your organization can provide lunch for 15-20 people on a Wednesday, Thursday or Friday please email us.  Thank you to our regular providers: Mary Boone & Bess Tucker, Central Presbyterian Church, Larry Cuffee, First Bapitst Church of Hewitt, First United Methodist Church of Waco, Lake Shore Baptist Church and Robinson Church of Christ.  Click here for a flyer

 

Since 2000, female prisoners from the Linda Woodman State Jail in Gatesville have helped out weekly on Waco Habitat construction sites.

In recognition of the prisoners' contributions to Waco Habitat, the first Prison Partnership House was built in 2006.
