Volunteer Opportunities

Habitat for Humanity of Morgan County is a volunteer-driven organization. We welcome people from all walks of life to join us as we build simple, decent, affordable houses in partnership with God and families in need. Though the vast majority have no construction experience or building skills, volunteers are involved in most phases of construction. By working side-by-side with the family who will live in the house, our volunteers experience for themselves the joy created when a family is able to realize their dream of home ownership.

Habitat volunteers contribute more than muscle. Creativity, strategy, and technical skills are among the many invaluable traits volunteers bring to the organization. With a minimal staff, Habitat for Humanity of Morgan County depends upon volunteer committees for support with projects like Family Selection, Family Support, Public Relations, Construction Planning, Fundraising, and Volunteer Services. We also offer opportunities in our ReStore, a home & building materials recycling center.

We invite volunteers to help us build, assist in the office, work in the ReStore, serve on committees, and help with special projects that benefit the organization. Time commitments vary; some volunteers dedicate every day of the week to Habitat for Humanity of Morgan County and others spend just a few hours each month working on projects or in the ReStore. As a volunteer for Habitat for Humanity of Morgan County, you can choose to volunteer as little or as often as you would like. All of these positions are a tremendous help that directly or indirectly result in the construction of simple, decent homes.

SPECIFIC VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES: Call or email the Habitat office, 765-349-9003.

Office receptionist: Be the phone receptionist any time from 9:00-4:00 (or even a half-day). Some computer data entry is also possible. Help is also is needed for prepairing the quarterly newsletter for mailing.

Construction: Most of our construction is done on Saturdays. During the spring, summer, and fall months, we are usually building each Saturday. Feel free to simply show up at the current job site or call the office for more details.  You can also fill out the Volunteer Questionnaire online.

Habitat Home Store Help: The Habitat Home Store is open Tuesdays through Saturdays. The manager of the store is frequently the only person available to help customers and manage the stock. A volunteer would be of great assistance, helping with clerking and inventory. We also operate a pickup truck that is used to pick up and deliver larger items. The driver frequently needs a second person to help with the loading & unloading. A volunteer on a specific day of the week would be very helpful.
