Construction Volunteer Interest Form
There are other ways you can get involved with Habitat. Depending on your personal interests, some people volunteer to provide housewarming gifts for homeowners, provide lunches/snacks for construction volunteers, lead classes on homeownership for our partner families, or help in the office with administrative functions. We love to have people donate decorating skills to create displays in the ReStore, lead demonstrations for DIY projects, provide photograph or video skills at events, and other unique ways that are suited to who you are! For more information and to volunteer with Habitat Alamance in these and other ways, please fill out our interest form and tell us how you want to help.
We look forward to serving with you!
