Individual Volunteer

New happy family posing with their new home

The backbone of every build.

Volunteers make Habitat's work possible. They show up ready to learn, build, and give their time to a neighbor in need, helping turn each build day into real progress toward a safe, affordable home for a local family.

Volunteer days are from 8:30 am- 3 pm, but may vary depending on the tasks to be done.

Lunch will not be provided, however water and Gatorade will be.
