No experience - no problem! Each and every volunteer brings new vitality and strength and becomes part of the Essex County Habitat family. Helping with Critical Home Repairs is a great way to help others while building camaraderie and keeping busy! Our Critical Home Repair projects are shorter term than building an entire home. and include repairs necessary to maintain sound condition of the home, weatherization and energy efficiency - those needed to alleviate critical health, life and safety issues or code violations and allow elder homeowners to age safely in their homes, maintain a healthy lifestyle, and live independently. Our volunteer coordinator will work with you to schedule a mutually agreeable time based on the construction schedule and locations available upon your request. The schedule can vary depending on the project but would be similar to: 8:15am - registration/orientation 8:30am - 12pm work on assigned tasks 12pm - 1pm - lunch (bring you own) 1-3:30pm - work 3:30-4pm - clean up/finish for the day
