Get Involved
Habitat for Humanity rests on the shoulders of volunteers. Habitat would not exist if people of good will were not willing to invest the most precious thing they possess: their time and their talents.
-Tom Hall, pastor and former Habitat for Humanity International Staff Member
Habitat is a partnership.It’s not somebody up here helping somebody down there. It’s somebody reaching out a hand and saying “Let’s work together.” -Jimmy Carter, Habitat’s most famous volunteer

All volunteer days start with a safety orientation and instructions for completing the day’s tasks. If you do have construction experience (carpentry, tile work, dry-walling, etc.), we encourage you to notify the site supervisor.
How many people can be in my group? We can accommodate up to 8-10 group members at one construction site.
Do I have to be part of a group? No! We welcome individuals as well as groups at both our construction sites and our ReStore.
Do I need to bring my own tools? Don’t worry, we provide all the tools and safety equipment you will need!
Do I need to bring water or snack? Habitat will provide water and snacks throughout the day but you are also welcome to bring your own beverages and foods.
Can my child volunteer? Minors 16 years-old or older are welcome at the site with the provision of a Minor Release form and accompanied by a parent or guardian. However, Minors cannot use power tools so check with the Volunteer Manager to be sure the tasks are age-appropriate when signing up for a site.
