I couldn’t have done this without everyone who came together from the community to make this happen. Without you, I wouldn’t have this opportunity and I cannot thank you enough.

Invest in Families with Your Time
Our construction volunteers can complete all non-trade-specific functions on the job site with help and guidance from Habitat staff and volunteer Crew Leads.
Opportunities: Construction | Lunch | ReStore
Volunteer on Build Site
7-hour commitment
Help build a Habitat home — no experience necessary! Our construction staff and crew leads will teach you everything you need to know during your volunteer shift.
Build site volunteers must be 16 years and older. Interested volunteers who are ages 16 & 17 please request a minor waiver from Andrea at acolley@habitatgfw.com. Minor volunteers are required to have adult supervision with them at all times.
your time makes a difference

Habitat Homeowner
I am beyond grateful for this opportunity. This program has opened up doors for me to provide security and financial stability for my family. Thank you!
Ciaira
Habitat Homeowner
You will never know how grateful I am for everyone at Habitat. You continue to change lives every day. You have given me the opportunity to give a 12-year-old child with autism a safe place to be when his grandmother needs help. For that, I am so thankful.

Donate Lunch to Build Site
1-hour commitment
All ages welcome! Feed our construction volunteers and Partner Families as they build Habitat homes in our community. This is an excellent opportunity for church groups or families with children. All lunch donors are encouraged to stick around and share the meal with us, the more the merrier!
Volunteer at ReStore
3- to 4-hour commitment
Assist our ReStore staff with projects such as merchandising, cleaning, organizing, and donation intake. The Habitat ReStore serves the community through discounted products and as a fundraiser to help build Habitat homes.
Court-ordered community service hours are not available at the ReStore.
Unique Volunteer Opportunities
Interested in volunteering on a consistent basis? Our Crew Leads volunteer 1-3x a week and help lead volunteer groups.
Habitat Panel Builds bring the construction site to your organization where up to 100 volunteers build the interior and exterior walls of a Habitat home — in only five hours!
Each year teams of 7 sponsor a construction day and volunteer their time to support future homeowners in our community.
Water + Snack Donations
We’re always in need of water, Gatorade, or snacks to have on hand for volunteers and it’s a great way to start a competition between classrooms, company departments, or Cub Scout Dens. If you or your group are able to donate any of these items we would be so grateful!
You can bring donations to the job site during your volunteer shift or email Andrea at acolley@habitatgfw.com to schedule a drop-off at our Corporate Office or ReStore.
