Every helping hand on the construction site builds a stronger community for families and individuals to flourish. From framing and raising walls, to carefully applying the last coat of paint, every task has a purpose. Habitat homes are built by volunteers; no experience is necessary. Habitat’s skilled construction staff will guide you through all tasks, big or small. No matter your tool, at the end of the day, you can look back on your progress and know your efforts are building strength and self-reliance through homeownership.
Store Experience
– Full day(s), split half day(s)
– 5 to 20 participants
You don’t need a hammer to build a house! Habitat for Humanity Stores raise money to build homes through the sale of donated new and used home improvement goods. In this fast-paced environment, your group will help sort and organize donations such as furniture, appliances, hardware, power tools, and building materials, or work on special projects based on the day’s inventory. With the help of volunteers like you, Habitat Stores divert thousands of tons of reusable materials from ending up in landfills each year. It’s challenging work, but it’s also meaningful because you know your efforts are about building community and building it together. One thing is certain—with the Store Experience, every day offers something new!
