Habitat for Humanity is hosting a Call Out For Volunteers during a virtual informational meeting.
People are invited to join Habitat on Wednesday, Sept. 2, at 11 a.m., for a virtual meeting to learn more about how you can join our mission to provide families with decent and affordable housing. Volunteers are the backbone to Habitat for Humanity of Wood County’s mission.
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.
Home builds are slated for the fall of 2020 and spring of 2021. While practicing safety guidelines and universal precautions, 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 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 virtual session. From your computer, join the Zoom meeting by clicking on the following link or copy and paste in your search bar:
