Our mission of building a world where everyone has a decent place to call home involves more than just financial and product donations, but also time. With your efforts, we continue to build homes or rather a world where everyone has a decent place to call home.

What do I need to bring?
Bring a lunch, water bottle, sunscreen, a hat, and layered clothing for weather changes. Please leave your valuables at home–there is no secure storage at any of our sites. While we provide all the tools you’ll need, you may bring your own hand tools, hardhat, work gloves, or safety goggles (please label with your name). Smoking, alcohol, and radios are not allowed on our sites. We also ask that you do not use cell phones on active construction sites as they are distracting and can cause accidents.
I have to cancel! What do I do?
Login to your volunteer account and you will see your reservation–follow the prompts to cancel. There is also a link to cancel in your build day confirmation email. If you can’t login, please email us and we will cancel the reservation for you.
