Habitat for Humanity of Wood County is asking potential volunteers to join the organization on Feb. 10, at 11 a.m., in the Wood County District Public Library, second floor meeting room, to learn more about how you can join the mission to provide families with decent and affordable housing.
By volunteering and applying your skills, local communities improve and transform. Through this transformation, families achieve the strength, stability and independence they need to build a better life.
Volunteers are the backbone to Habitat for Humanity of Wood County’s mission.
Habitat for Humanity of Wood County is gearing up for two home builds in 2020 – in April, the organization plans to begin the home build in Weston, and in August, the building of the third house in Bowling Green should begin.
Behind each of these builds is the vast need for volunteers.
You can volunteer as a core crew on our projects, join a committee or fill a need as an individual volunteer. Many skills will be needed and every hand makes a difference.
As a Core Crew member, you have more experience with tools and you will help guide fellow volunteers on the build site. Habitat safety training will be provided.
As an individual or committee volunteer, you will gain new experiences as you meet others who believe in giving a hand up and not a hand out. Specific opportunities include checking-in volunteers at the construction site, assisting in our administrative offices, coordinating lunches and/or provide lunch for volunteers at build sites, helping to select or support families in the program and helping at Habitat Wood County events.
Details on how you can become a Habitat for Humanity of Wood County Volunteer will be provided at the session.
If you are unable to attend the orientation, though are interested in volunteering, or would like additional information, call Habitat for Humanity of Wood County office at 419-353-5430 or email mohashi@wchabitat.org
