Habitat for Humanity Faith Build

About The Event

Volunteer Opportunity from the Justice Ministry

The Habitat for Humanity Faith Build began in 2015 with the goal to bring faith groups together to help uplift the work of affordable housing. This year, the Faith Build home will be built in the Buckeye-Woodhill neighborhood as part of our 400 Home Initiative. This is the 15th home built through the Faith Build program.
You will volunteer alongside Habitat Staff and longtime volunteers to build a home for a qualified Habitat family. You do not need any special skills – just kindness!
Please contact Cynthia Lehman or the church office if you want to volunteer or have questions.

Typical Construction Day:

• 9:00am — Arrive, prayer, safety orientation, sign-in, and joyful work.
• 12:00-12:30 — Lunch. We ask that volunteers bring their lunch (plan a potluck with your team). We often work in areas where a quick lunch is not convenient.
• 12:30-3:00 — More joyful work, clean up, and reflection. All abilities are welcome. Please know that every task you help with aids in building a home for a family. Some tasks may seem small, but they are all important.

DAY OF VOLUNTEER INFORMATION

• If you have a folding chair, bring that along. Depending on where we are in our progress, we may not have traditional seats available.
• Bathrooms: Bathrooms fluctuate between port-o-lets and functioning bathrooms in the house.
• Parking: On-street parking is available, but space is limited. Consider carpooling.
• Ages on Construction: 16 years of age or older (16-17 must be accompanied by an adult).
• Clothing: Wear closed-toed, puncture and slip-resistant shoes. Wear comfortable clothing that you do not mind getting dirty. We work in all weather conditions. Raincoats and layers are always a good idea.

Thank you and have a safe, fun, and fulfilling day!

You are not just building a house; you are impacting families and a community.
