Habitat Interfaith Alliance Coalition
Rodef Shalom has been an integral part of Habitat Interfaith Alliance (HIA) since its inception. We are a dedicated group of representatives from 10 congregations in the Denver Metro area. Our coalition is composed of Catholic, Protestant, Unitarian, and six other Jewish congregations plus a few at-large representatives.
Since HIA began in 2002, Rodef Shalom members have joined with other coalition members to build more than just homes. We have fulfilled the dreams of 19 families by providing safe, affordable housing for grateful parents and their children. HIA is one of only two interfaith coalitions working with Habitat for Humanity of Metro Denver.
Within Habitat Interfaith Alliance, we may not share the same faith, but we share the same values, especially the concept of Tikkun Olam - working to repair the world through acts of kindness.
With the help of our fellow congregants and volunteers, we reach our annual goal to raise $40,000 to sponsor one Habitat home in Metro Denver. To achieve this goal, we accept donations and host several fundraisers during the year, including our annual Golf Classic and “Brains and Brews” trivia night. These homes are not given away but sold to the recipients who also work many hours to build their home as well as other recipients’ homes. The loans are low interest and payments are affordable. Habitat has a fine reputation for building energy efficient and sustainable homes. Dedicating a new Habitat home is very gratifying. We will publicize the event so all can celebrate with our Habitat family.
