Each year hundreds of volunteers donate thousands of hours in support of our mission.  There are numerous ways for you to help.

Home Construction and Rehab

Central to our mission is the construction or rehab of homes which become available to our client families.  This work would not be possible without thousands of hours of volunteer work each year.  Some organizations work with us several days each month, others only a few days per year.  While most of our volunteers are "unskilled", we especially welcome any experienced and/or licensed contractors in the following areas:

• General Carpentry

• Licensed/Certified Electricians

• Licensed Plumbing/Heating Contractors

• Professional Drywall Contractors

• Experienced Carpet Installers

• Experienced Appliance Repair Person

Office Help

Volunteers are needed in many areas of the office including copying, preparing mailings, telephone support, scheduling, and many more places.  Do you have a few hours a week to help out?
