Aug build event
Sign up for this build event to help a family achieve their dream of owning their own home. No experience necessary – all the skills needed will be demonstrated on-site!
Registration
All volunteers will need to register online at the Habitat for Humanity website. Click on the date of Oct 14th to register on the provided link. There is a safety waiver that is signed electronically (under the “More” link). This also facilitates cancelations and announcements that are emailed directly from Habitat from Humanity.
Habitat Rules
Age
Must be 16 years of age or older to be present on the Habitat active construction site. If a volunteer is age 16 or 17, they will not be able to use power tools (this includes drills) or climb on roofs, ladders, or scaffolding. This rule is for their safety and our compliance with child labor laws.

Dress for the weather. Shorts may be worn on hotter days; however, knee coverage is suggested for roofing.
Long hair must be tied back.
Do not wear loose articles of clothing such as long necklaces, long shirts, scarves, or anything that could get caught in the equipment.
