Volunteer with Us
Volunteer Interest Form
Interested in volunteering? Join us by swinging a hammer on a construction site, helping at The Habitat Store, and more. No matter who you are, we have opportunities for you to help in our mission!
Faith Build
Habitat for Humanity was built on a foundation of faith. As an ecumenical Christian organization, we invite people of all faiths and no faith to join us and support our mission.
At Habitat, we welcome the diversity of worldviews and faith traditions that reflect our local community and courage all to contribute to our vision of a world where everyone has a decent place to live. Many feel called to Habitat’s work as a response to faith and recognize Habitat as an opportunity to put their faith and love into action. Through Faith Build, we can build on shared values and bring diverse groups of people together for a common purpose.
Women Build
Whether through donating, advocating, or volunteering on the construction site, every woman can empower Habitat Partner Families to build stability and independence.

Greene County
