House Builds and Home Repairs

Join our amazing team of volunteers and participate in a house build on one of our existing projects.

​

No experience is necessary and we provide the supervision, tools and materials. Construction work days are typically Tuesday and Friday.

​

Our crews usually work from 9am-3pm, depending on construction status and weather.

​

Please do your best to arrive on time. We want to provide you as much volunteer work time as possible but it is vital to have everyone present for a welcome and safety talk.​
