Learn More About the Interfaith Award
Pikes Peak Habitat for Humanity celebrated World Interfaith Harmony Week Feb. 1-7, 2024 with a series of challenges including our interfaith dialogue, "Who is Your Neighbor?" which featured representatives from the City of Colorado Springs Mayor's Office.
For these efforts, Pikes Peak Habitat won the silver medal in the King Abdullah II U.N. World Interfaith Harmony Week Competition! The prize for silver includes a silver medal and $3,000 which will support our Faith in Action program.
