"To reduce or eradicate substandard housing in Charlottesville and Albemarle County is the big goal, and I’m honored to be a part of that effort." - Sally Pickell, Mid Week Crew Team Member and Habitat Store Volunteer
It takes everyone working together to build community! Habitat volunteers have varied skills, interests, and passions that contribute to our mission of building strength, stability, and self-reliance through shelter.
Join us by swinging a hammer, helping at the Store, walking alongside Habitat Homebuyers, and a host of other ways. Whether you are a student, retired, working a full-time job, or raising a family, we have opportunities for you to help in our mission!
