Build Site

Our homes are built almost entirely by volunteers, both skilled and unskilled. Even if you’ve never picked up a hammer, we can use your help.

What to Expect

  • You’ll be working side by side with other volunteers and the future homeowner(s) (who contribute 250 hours of sweat equity toward their new home). All tools, equipment, and instruction are provided by our site supervisor.
  • Volunteers do not need to stay the entire day. We do encourage volunteers to contribute an entire day’s work so we can reach our aimed goals but know that outside circumstances often limit one’s ability to do so.
