Volunteer Committees
For every volunteer hour spent at a construction site, 15 volunteer hours are spent behind the scenes, making this new home possible. Volunteer committees assist in designing homes, selecting families, soliciting donations, organizing special events, coordinating public and media relations, and helping in the office. No matter what your particular skills, Habitat can use your help!
