Women's Habitat Build
We are so excited to be hosting a Women's Habitat Build Event on May 2nd! Invite a friend a join us in helping build a Habitat For Humanity home. There are two work groups, an AM and PM group. Sign up at the link below. *Please note this link will ask you to create an account before you can register for your event.
What to Expect:
You will work alongside Habitat staff and volunteers on active build sites, assisting with a variety of construction projects. No prior experience is required! The Habitat team will provide all training, tools, materials, and PPE. Should volunteers be interested in bringing their own safety glasses or gloves, feel free! We recommend that volunteers clearly label any tools or PPE that they bring to ensure they don't accidentally get mixed in with our supplies.

What to Wear/Bring:
We recommend dressing for the weather and wearing clothes that you don't mind getting dirty. Keep in mind that you could be working outdoors or in homes with minimal heat or A/C.
Closed toed and closed heeled shoes are required. Work or hiking boots are great if you have them, but sturdy tennis shoes will do!
While we do have some water bottles on site, we always recommend bringing your own water. We will provide snacks and lunch for your build day but feel free to bring your own!
Parking:
Street parking is available on N. Greenfield Ave., Pearl St., and Ellis St.
We kindly ask that volunteers be courteous of neighboring homes by avoiding parking in front of driveways, fire hydrants, and garbage bins on pick up days.
We Highly encourage you to watch this brief safety video before your volunteer shift.
