Habitat for Humanity International brings families and communities in need together with volunteers and resources to build decent, affordable houses.

Construction

WHO:  Volunteers from all walks of life, regardless of skill level, are welcome to help build a house in partnership with a local family in need of decent shelter. Volunteers must be at least 16 years old, and all minor volunteers (ages 16-17) must be accompanied by an adult.

WHEN: Volunteers are scheduled Wednesday through Saturday, in two shifts: 8:30 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. and 1:00 - 4:30 p.m.

WHAT to expect on site: All volunteers will be asked to sign a waiver before beginning their work. A Habitat staff member will lead a safety orientation at the beginning of each shift. Volunteers will receive instruction on the day's task(s). No volunteer will be expected to do anything he or she is uncomfortable doing. Wear comfortable clothes that can get dirty and sturdy, close-toed shoes. Tools and water are provided.  Click here for flyer.

HOW:  Reservations are required. A limited number of spots are available.  Please email or call Waco Habitat at (254) 756-7575, and our volunteer coordinator will inform you of available opportunities.

By working side-by-side with the family who will live in the house, our volunteers share the satisfaction and joy experienced by a family who accomplishes their dream of homeownership. Join us!
