BUILDING WITH HABITAT - FAST FACTS

1. Below are our build days, sign-up your family, friends, church, club or co-workers and join us anytime between 8:30am-3:00pm. You know your schedule best, so anytime between 8:30am-3:00pm you can build with us, you tell us when to expect your arrival and departure and we will plan accordingly.

2. Building with a group? Great, we love groups! To offer you a quality volunteer experience we ask that groups bring no more than 15 volunteers. Want to build with more than 15 volunteers? Email Volunteer Manager, Greta Sanders at [email protected] and we can discuss how to accomodate your large group by splittig into a AM and PM shifts, or signing you up more a multiple day building experience.

3. No experience? No problem. While we love seeing new experts on site, most of our community volunteers have no experience. You will be paired with a house leader who will work along side you and walk you through each task throughout the day. All you need is a willingess to learn and have fun.

4. Wanting to volunteer with minors? Bring them along as long as they are 14+ and they have permission from their guardian. We will note, the best experience for minors on site will happen towards the end of the build season when we are painting, doing landscaping, etc. Contact [email protected] for more information.

5.Building with us on a Saturday? Lunch will be provided to you by some of our amazing partners who donate lunch every saturday. Building with us on a Tuesday or Thursday, make sure to plan accordingly for your lunch break as lunch will not be offered on site.

6.Do you need to bring anything with you on your build day? While we offer water and sports drinks on site it is never a bad idea to bring your own water bottle to stay hydrated. If you wish to work with gloves, please bring your favorite pair from home. All tools, and saftey eqipment will be provided to you on site, though you are more than welcome to bring your own tools and toolbelt from home. If you bring your own tools please remember to lable them so they do not get mixed in with other tools.
