12 Days of Volunteering: Habitat for Humanity

Habitat for Humanity has many needs that can be met by the time and effort of volunteers.

Habitat for Humanity is a nation-wide organization that builds and renovates homes for those in need. Monthly events take place to ensure positive change and groups of volunteers are always a necessity to get the job done.

Once you register on the Habitat for Humanity website, you will be able to sign up for work days that fit into your schedule.

There are a wide range of volunteer positions that need filling on a regular basis, from mailings and events to deconstruction and restoration.
