VOLUNTEER
Our Towns Habitat for Humanity could not function
without the support of our volunteers. Our volunteers give the equivalent
of over 66,000 hours during the course of a year, to everything
from house construction to committee involvement, from data entry
to public speaking. Many of our volunteers had never held a hammer
when they started while others were skilled contractors. The common
interest of all our volunteers is their willingness to help families
build homes who would otherwise not be able to afford a home. Every
volunteer has a talent to bring to Habitat, whether it is to build
homes, work in our office, work in our store, or help on a committee.
All are welcome.
Habitat is a great way to demonstrate team spirit and it is rewarding
to see the results of your labor at the end of the day. If
you would like to volunteer, please email volunteercoordinator@ourtownshabitat.org
or telephone 704-896-8957 ext 1108. Church groups, businesses,
and other organizations volunteer with Habitat. (See Sponsor
page)
Young people ages 16 and 17 are welcome on our
construction sites as long as a parent or guardian comes with them.
Youth ages 18 and up are allowed without a parent or guardian. A
waiver of liability is required before working on a site.
Our volunteers are not only individuals who
live and work in our four towns, but many of them also attend houses
of worship in our four towns. They are of all faiths and backgrounds,
coming together for the purpose of putting their beliefs into action,
building communities, and changing lives one family at a time.
