Volunteers are the heart and soul of Habitat for Humanity of Richland and Crawford Counties. They bring kindness, generosity, and a willingness to make a difference in our communities. Whether you have construction skills or not, there are numerous ways you can get involved and contribute to our mission of eliminating substandard housing.
We need volunteers of all skill levels to help with construction, family support, community outreach, committee work, office tasks, and salvage operations. If you have time, talent, and a desire to make a positive impact, we invite you to join our team. Together, we can build a better future, one home at a time.
Habitat for Humanity welcomes passionate individuals and organizations of all skill levels, races, and religions. Every pair of helping hands makes a difference. By volunteering with us, you have the power to impact the lives of thousands of families each year.
Our volunteers contribute to our organization in many ways, including construction, retail support, home repairs, and light duties including seasonal maintenance and administrative tasks. Our team of dedicated volunteers performs about 80% of the labor involved in constructing each home.
There is no specific commitment required to become a Habitat volunteer. You can join us on the job site as frequently as you like, as part of a group or as an individual. Every ounce of support is essential and deeply appreciated.
