Our Mission

Our Vision

​A world where everyone has a decent place to live

Our History:

Building Homes. Strengthening Communities. Changing Lives.

 

Volunteering together to help build the home of a hardworking Habitat family is a rewarding experience for everyone involved. Many businesses are now seeing the benefits of bringing employees outside the walls of the office, and into the volunteer space. Habitat provides a fun, easy and engaging team-building experience at our build sites. All skill levels are welcome!

Construction tasks include framing, hanging drywall, painting, laying flooring, landscaping, and even installing the kitchen sink! Habitat provides protective gear, such as work gloves and goggles.

 

Corporate and Community Group Build Days
Your business or organization can sign up for an exclusive build day customized just for your group at one of our Habitat build sites. 

We offer flexibility — schedule a volunteer day that works for your team. Choose to work a full day, a morning shift, an afternoon shift, or just a few hours.

Snacks and water provided for all volunteers.
