Be a Construction Volunteer

While home construction and renovation isn’t the only way to serve at Habitat, it is a big part of what we do. Volunteering on a Habitat worksite is perfect for those who want to get their hands dirty—and it’s great for team-building, too!

Volunteer at ReStore

ReStore is a key part of how Habitat builds and renovates homes with families and individuals who need decent, affordable housing. ReStore is perfect for those who enjoy being creative with retail and helpful to customers. Volunteer at ReStore today.

Something for Everyone

There is no shortage of volunteer opportunities at Habitat, so whatever your passion and skill set, you can join us in impacting communities. Read on to learn about some of the ways you can make a big difference—no experience required.

Build and improve homes, and help families build and improve their futures.

When you volunteer in construction, you’ll witness changes in the house, the surrounding neighborhood, and within yourself. If that sounds like a great way to spend a day (or two, or three), we’d love to talk with you about how to volunteer with Habitat for Humanity East Central Ohio.

We welcome individual volunteers, as well as groups of all kinds. Spending a day or even a few hours helping others can be a great team-building activity for a group from your workplace, church, family, club, or civic organization. And volunteering isn’t just beneficial for others—it turns out, it’s pretty healthy for you too. Who knew?

And volunteering with Habitat for Humanity extends well beyond construction. It’s not just about nails and wood, but about the bonds created and the community spirit fostered. Each volunteer contributes unique skills and perspectives, enriching our diverse and dynamic team. Whether you’re an expert craftsman or new to construction, your efforts help in crafting not just homes, but also hope. Join us in making a tangible difference, one where the results are not only visible but also deeply felt, in the heart of the community and within yourself.
