3. At Habitat for Humanity there are many volunteer opportunities. All it takes is a desire to make a difference in the lives of families. There are tasks for highly skilled construction professionals at our Habitat homes; retail, stocking and labor work at the Habitat ReStore; and office assistance work at our main office. Most of these tasks only require a willingness to learn and an ability to work with others. No matter what your skills, IVHFH will match you where you can best serve. To begin making a difference contact volunteer coordinator 337-8949. You must be 16 years of age or older to volunteer.
