Volunteers Building Smiles!

Thank you for your interest in volunteering!

When you volunteer to help build a Habitat for Humanity house, it obviously benefits a family in need and the community in general. What many don't realize, is that it also benefits the volunteer! More on that coming up, but first, here's a small sample of how volunteers help us build houses for families in need:

1. Help with clearing lots before the construction starts.
2. Help with the actual building of the house—no experience required.
3. Provide food or water to the workers—just once, or more often if you like.
4. Help cleaning up during or after the build.
5. Landscaping after the house is built.

Help when you like—your choice!
