Hear From Our Volunteers

  • "Very enjoyable experience with a motivated team, always leave the site feeling a sense of accomplishment and wishing I could return the next day to continue the project, and I usually learn something about construction and my team members that I didn't know before the build."

  • "The people are great to work with and very passionate about what they do. It's a fun time, and no pressure to work with equipment you are uncomfortable with. They are willing to teach you and help you along the way."

  • "This was the second year our group worked a full-day shift at Habitat for Humanity, and each time our experience has been outstanding. The employees of Habitat are doing a great job providing guidance and support throughout our work, in addition to engaging with us throughout the day. Kudos for having such great employees who support the mission!"

  • "Loved giving back to the community and working with a team to reach a common goal. I felt like an asset to the team, even though I haven't done construction work in the past."
