HOW CAN I VOLUNTEER?

You don’t have to be a skilled craftsman to help build a Habitat home. Although we do need volunteers skilled in such tasks as rough framing, roofing, electrical, plumbing, painting, vinyl siding, and finish carpentry, we also need unskilled volunteers who are willing to learn. Even if you’ve never held a hammer in your hand, we can teach you.

There are no "male" or "female" jobs with Habitat. There’s plenty of work for everyone, including those with limited physical strength, those who are uncomfortable with heights, and those who can only contribute a few hours of their time. Here are some examples:

• Paint doors and woodwork.

• Install towel bars, wire shelving, door knobs, and other trim.

• Clean house before our partner family moves in.

• Provide meals, snacks, and drinks for construction volunteers.

• Help with administrative tasks such as preparing newsletters for mailing, coordinating volunteers, keeping records, or writing thank you notes.

• Support the Habitat Home Store by volunteering or by donating items for resale.

• Raise money for construction through your church, civic organization, employer or other source.

• Donate materials and services that will reduce our cost of building a home.

• Invite us to meet with your church; your civic, social or professional organization; your employer; or other sources of volunteers, materials, or funds.

• Serve as a member of the board of directors, a committee member, or a sponsor for one of our partner families.
