VOLUNTEER WITH US

There are many ways to get involved with Greater Dalton Habitat for Humanity. Our volunteer opportunities do not require special skills or construction experience, just a readiness to pitch in and help!

If you are interested in sponsoring one or more workdays, or even a complete home build or renovation, please talk to your company, religious organization, school, etc. about sponsoring a home or a workday.

You can contact our Volunteer Coordinator at outreach@habitatdwm.org for more details regarding volunteer opportunities.
