We need volunteers in several areas: home construction, retail sales, fundraising, and family mentoring.
For our home construction, we generally work on building houses every Thursday and Saturday from 8am-12noon, weather permitting. The working hours may vary depending on the time of the year and outside temperatures, so please dress accordingly. No experience is required for home construction. We can always use you, regardless of your skill level.
If you don't think that home construction fits you, then come volunteer at our Habitat Store. We are currently open Tuesday through Saturday from 10:00am to 5:00pm. There is a wide range of things to do for men and women - receiving, organizing, repairing, dusting, loading/unloading, cashiering, but most importantly... customer service.
Since all of this is for our partner families, we need people who would like to help us raise money or obtain in-kind donations to offset the cost of building the homes for our partner families. We also need volunteers to work as mentors for our families, both pre- and post-purchase of their home. This requires volunteers with more social service skills - encouraging families to help develop or improve skills in decision making, problem solving, financial literacy, household management, etc.
Regardless of your skills, we can find a place for you on our volunteer team. Please help us continue to provide safe, affordable housing for hard working, low income families in Guadalupe County, Texas!

Mission Statement
We bring people together to build homes, communities and hope.
Description
In 2018, we commemorated our 25th Anniversary and celebrated that we had provided safe, affordable housing for 27 families in Guadalupe County, Texas. As a faith-based organization, we also are committed to tithe our "first fruits" so that God's work can be done elsewhere. Our tithing over the last 25 years has resulted in another 27 families in Tamaulipas, Mexico being blessed with decent housing.
None of this would have been accomplished without the tireless support of local volunteers from churches, civic groups, companies, campuses, and individuals just wanting to make a difference in the lives of hard working, low income families in Guadalupe County.
