Individual Volunteers

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.
