Join our enthusiastic Operation Playhouse team at Habitat for Humanity MetroWest/Greater Worcester. Operation Playhouse builds playhouses for the children of Veterans by utilizing teams of corporate supporters. Teams work together to construct and decorate colorful and themed children’s playhouses. The interests of the child are determined, and a theme for the playhouse is chosen. Typical themes are pirate ship, firehouse, barnyard, sports teams, princess, and many more. We are looking for a volunteer to assist with;

  • Calling veterans to coordinate playhouse events
  • Collecting paperwork from veterans
  • Sending/receiving emails from veterans
  • Organizing paint, picking colors for the playhouse design
  • Printing playhouse organizational materials; certificates, themes
We are proud to give back to those who have served our country. Habitat for Humanity MetroWest/Greater Worcester is the only Habitat affiliate in Massachusetts to offer this program, and one of a handful across the U.S. to honor service men and women through Operation Playhouse.

Please send your resume via email, or contact David Hamilton, Community Outreach Manager at David.Hamilton@habitatmwgw.org or 508-799-9259, Ext. 119 for more information.

Mission Statement

Habitat for Humanity -- MetroWest/ Greater Worcester is an independently-operated affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International. Founded as an affiliate in 1985, we are a non-profit, ecumenical, Christian housing ministry dedicated to making shelter a matter of conscience. Building relationships and community is as important to us as building homes. We welcome people of all faith affiliations and backgrounds to join together in partnership and lend a hand to those in need of simple, decent, safe, affordable housing.

Description

At Habitat for Humanity--MetroWest/Greater Worcester (HFH-MW/GW), our motto is "A hand up, not a handout." We are dedicated to building houses with families, not for them. We partner with hardworking families who earn between 25% - 60% of the area median income and do not qualify for other homeownership programs. Not only do Habitat families pay for their homes through a monthly mortgage, they also put in between 400 and 500 hours of sweat equity prior to becoming homeowners.

The Habitat for Humanity-MetroWest/Greater Worcester also has a retail outlet, ReStore. ReStore is a retail outlet that sells quality, gently-used and surplus construction and home improvement materials as well as home furnishings for a fraction of regular retail prices. The ReStore offers great deals on building supplies, making your home improvements more affordable while providing much needed funding for the work of Habitat for Humanity-MetroWest/Greater Worcester.
