Volunteers

Community volunteers are always welcome, no matter what their construction experience or skill levels may be. For volunteers who do not wish to work in construction, there are a wide variety of Habitat functions they can perform.

Many communities of faith, businesses and civic groups, recruit their own members, to volunteer together. See our page on How to Become a Habitat Construction Group to learn how it works.

To volunteer, simply call the HFHMC Office at 256-533-2282.
