every
​home

is affordable because 
of ​volunteers like you
we
build

​ 
We rely on volunteers to help us build. The work you do at the construction site is not ceremonial. Be prepared to roll up your sleeves, get your hands dirty, and sweat a little.

No experience is required. We will provide you with the tools and instruction you need to complete your assigned tasks.
VOLUNTEER APPLICATION
VOLUNTEER CALENDAR
​I’ve learned what building a home is all about but I’ve also learned a lot about myself, my determination, and my will to accomplish any task that is set before me. I’m a lot stronger and more capable than I give myself credit for, and sore muscles after a day on a job site remind me of that.  There is always something new to learn and Christy does a great job challenging her volunteers to build their skills and step outside of their comfort zone."
