| Our sincere
appreciation goes out to everyone who supports our work.
There are many individuals, corporations, foundations,
congregations, and other groups who regularly support the
mission of Interfaith Housing. Your generosity makes a
difference in the life of others. On behalf of those
whom you may never know or see, thank you!
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
Furniture Distribution Center
Volunteers are needed to assist with our
Furniture Distribution including:
-
Warehouse Organizers - needed to help
maintain organization of the furniture warehouse and

their own van or truck are needed to pick up furniture and
housewares from donors.
Office Help
Volunteers are needed in many areas of the
office including copying, preparing mailings, telephone

them.
