We Need Your Help!

Together, let's build homes and hope this season!

This fall and winter, step up, stand out, and make a difference by joining our Volunteer Challenges—hands-on volunteer experience for businesses in the community. Rally your coworkers, form a volunteer crew, and help us build affordable homes for families across the Cedar Valley.

Whether you’re swinging a hammer or painting a frame, your time on site directly fuels Iowa Heartland Habitat’s mission—and keeps our builds on track through the colder months.

Hammers & Harvest: October - December

Winter Challenge: January - March

Why Join the Challenge?

Team Up & Compete

Gather your crew and sign up for at least one build day in the fall and one in the winter—or take on even more!

Get Exclusive Gear

When you sign up for both the Hammers & Harvest Build Challenge and the Winter Challenge, you'll receive an exclusive pair of collectible socks! This is the first edition in what we hope will become an annual collection, so don't miss your chance to own the inaugural pair.

Volunteer Team Sign Up

Our Commitment to Belonging and Opportunity

At Iowa Heartland Habitat for Humanity, we believe every person deserves a place to call home—and a community where they are welcomed, respected, and empowered to thrive. Rooted in our faith and guided by our commitment to Koinonia, we work to expand opportunity and foster belonging through every aspect of our mission—from how we build and who we serve to the culture we cultivate within our team. As an equal opportunity employer and housing organization, we reject discrimination in any form and strive to model a world where compassion and opportunity lead to lasting change. We welcome people of all backgrounds, identities, and abilities—including members of the LGBTQ+ and BIPOC communities, people of all faiths or none, and people of all abilities—because when we unite through God’s love, we build more than homes—we build community and hope for all.

This means that Iowa Heartland Habitat for Humanity will not offer assistance on the expressed or implied condition that people must adhere to or convert to a particular faith or listen and respond to messaging designed to induce conversion to a particular faith.
