Build a Home

Imagine watching a family walk through the door of their very first home. Amazing! As a construction volunteer, you will work at the job site with other volunteers alongside a Habitat partner family. You can expect to do anything from hanging windows and installing sheetrock,  to painting walls and planting flowers. Together, you will make the family’s dream of homeownership a reality.

ReStore

Revitalize your downtime at ReStore. ReStore is a retail outlet which sells donated new and used building and home improvement

items to support the home building efforts of Habitat Fresno. Volunteers at ReStore will prepare and stock products in the warehouse,

as well as provide excellent service to our great customers. Learn more about ReStore at www.restorefresno.org.

Work with Families

You will find delight and fulfillment working with Habitat partner families as they navigate their way through the processes of building    and buying their first home. Provide much needed support, assistance and friendship as a one-on-one liaison during this incredible experience.

Special Events

Maybe you have a knack for organization? Or, you love bringing people together to celebrate? Donate your time planning fundraisers    and special events that directly support the work of Habitat Fresno.

Community Outreach

Action Team/Committee Volunteers

Become part of the solution to eradicate poverty housing and join a Habitat action team or committee. Each action team/committee is chartered with a specific goal designed to reinforce the mission of Habitat Fresno.

Listed below are the nine Action Team/Committee's Habitat has available for you to consider:

Of course, Habitat has two other ways you can volunteer and they are listed below:

• Work in our office - volunteers are scheduled according to the needs of our office at any given time. As the center of communication for Habitat for Humanity Fresno County, office volunteers are professional, consistent and reliable. The scope of work includes administrative assistance, resource development and family services.

• Work at the construction site - volunteers will help build new homes to complete our two new lots in clovis. Volunteers will work rain or shine from  7am to 3pm. Skilled and unskilled volunteers are welcome at our jobsite.

Getting Started

The first step to becoming a volunteer is to participate in a Volunteer Orientation. Individuals must call the Habitat office to reserve a space at the orientation.  You may reserve your space by calling Joan Cook at (559) 237-4102 or by sending her e-mail at Joan@habitatfresno.org.  Shortly after attending an orinentation, individuals will be provided with an opportunity to schedule their day(s)  of service.

While children under the age of 18 are not allowed to volunteer, we welcome your calls to our office for ideas on ways youth younger than 18 may get involved.

Thank you to all of our regular weekday volunteers, Saturday crews, churches,
organizations and individuals who help Habitat for Humanity build homes.
