Volunteers are an integral part of the Habitat for Humanity affiliate in Grays Harbor County. We welcome all people as we join together to build simple, decent, affordable houses for families in need in our community. Volunteers serve in many more functions than the construction of homes. Volunteers are needed to help locate buildable lots, select and support partner families, raise funds to build homes, increase awareness of Habitat for Humanity in the community, and provide clerical support. All of these volunteer positions are extremely important to the ultimate goal of building homes for families in need.

Construction

Skilled and unskilled construction volunteers are welcome. Building takes place from 9:00am to 3:00pm Tuesday through Saturday throughout the year. For more information on the current building site, contact the Habitat for Humanity office at: (360) 533-8090.

Skilled construction volunteers - provide professional expertise and leadership for unskilled volunteers.
Unskilled construction volunteers - willing to help with a variety of tasks with which they are comfortable.
