Site Hosts Wanted

Are you a morning person? Do you enjoy meeting new people? If this describes you, then you'd make a great Site Host. Site Hosts are often times the first person volunteers interact with on the site. They make sure the volunteers are at the correct lot, collect their waivers, get them signed in and issue them a name tag. This position requires the commitment of two hours for at least half of the build. At this time, we are looking for Site Hosts to help in Avondale for the fall build. If you are interested, please contact Angie at 623.583.2417 x106 or email by clicking here.

| The Episcopal Coalition at the Hailgeorgis Family Wall Raising Ceremony |
The Episcopal Habitat Coalition was formed in the fall of 1998 when the men’s group at Christ Church of the Ascension wanted to build a Habitat house, but did not have the resources to fund it alone. The men’s group at Christ Church outreached to other Episcopal churches to involve more churches in Habitat’s mission. Based on that modest start, the coalition has grown to eighteen churches throughout the Valley, raised and spent $821,590 with no overhead expense, built twenty-one local houses and twenty-six houses outside of the Phoenix metro area and worked 34,950 hours on building projects. The coalition has built outside of Arizona in Louisiana, Central America, South America and Africa. In total, 170 people are living in decent, affordable homes as a result of the coalition’s efforts.
As the Episcopal Coalition grew, there was a need to organize funds in a different manner. The coalition wanted to expand its impact to its U.S. affiliates and internationally. As a result of organizing their resources and building efforts, the churches decided to become a 501(c) 3 in 2002. The IRS approved the coalition with a five year approval plan. Most recently, the coalition incorporated as a State of Arizona Charity, which qualifies the coalition to use state resources and rules, such as the Arizona State Tax Credit for the Working Poor . The Episcopal Coalition has Bylaws, Articles of Incorporation, a Board of Directors and three active officers. Timothy Sprague, David Pettengill, and Wayne Needham serve as the officers. When asked about forming a 501(c)3, Wayne Needham stated, “It sounds like a lot work, but it takes very little time and very little energy.”
The churches currently part of the coalition are:
• All Saints’ Phoenix • Saint Matthew’s • All Saints of the Desert • Saint Peter’s • Christ Church of the Ascension • Episcopal Church of the Transfiguration • Church of the Advent – Sun City West • Trinity Episcopal Cathedral • Good Shepherd of the Hills • The Episcopal Church of the Nativity • The Episcopal Church of the Holy Spirit • The Episcopal Church of the Epiphany • St. Anthony on the Desert • St. Andrew’s • St. Barnabas on the Desert • St. Stephen’s and San Pablo • Episcopal Church of St. John the Baptist • The Episcopal Coalition also partners with Living Faith Anglican Church Habitat for Humanity appreciates the Episcopal Coalition's partnership and support.
In-Kind Partner

Waste Management of AZ (WMAZ) has been teaming up with Habitat for Humanity Central Arizona (HFHCAZ) for more than six years. This partnership has been an important one for HFHCAZ because not only has WMAZ provided in-kind services to many of our build sites, they have been very instrumental in supporting our Green Build projects and recycling efforts.
Jim Denson from WMAZ provides additional support as a HFHCAZ Board Member. Jim has held his position on the Board for more than three years.
Waste Management is a national partner through Habitat for Humanity International, which means it supports Habitat affiliates throughout the United States.
