Volunteer With Habitat!

(*Habitat for Humanity of Montgomery County volunteers
must be 18 years or older to work on a construction site. )

Schedule a day for your group to come out and work together. No better way to have a team building activity to come out for a build day, and work together to raise a donation for Habitat. A suggested donation of $100.00 per person helps to cover the costs of materials, trained site supervisors, equipment needed for the day and bottled water.

A work crew is typically made up of six people; if your group is larger then six, please request more then one site. Currently we are working on seven homes in Montgomery County: five new row homes in Norristown (Carriage Stone Project) and two rehab homes in Pottstown (Beech Street). Build days and activities* vary week to week, larger groups should request a Carriage Stone home since the site is larger; we build there on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. We build on Beech Street on Saturdays only. If you have a build preferences please note that on your application form. All volunteers must be 18 or older to work on a construction site.

See you onsite!

To sign up for a work day register as the team leader on VolunteerUp to view our construction calendar. Reserve your spot by clicking on a day with enough spaces to accommodate your group size. Enter your group name and select the number the guests you are bringing with you.

Keep in mind that the group leader counts as a member of the team so if you are reserving spots for ten volunteers please select nine guests. Have your team register with VolunteerUp but not sign up for any dates (the team leader would have already done this by including them as a guest.) Have you team also fill out the electronic waiver form before they come to their scheduled work day. (We will also have paper copies at each site but prefer to have the electronic waiver form.

* Every job is an essential piece in the Habitat for Humanity puzzle. Some activities that your group may be doing will be hammering, painting, lawn care and maintenance, trips to our local construction store for supplies, trash removal and the use of power tools. Please keep in mind that every job is important to Habitat, most of the work we do can’t be done by our staff alone, its volunteers like you that make all the difference in our day!


			Suggested ways to fundraise may include: Buy a brick for Habitat: Corporation members make a Habitat display starting with an outline of a house. Employees donate $1.00 to buy a one paper brick, add the bricks inside the house and watch it grow! This a good way to get the whole company involved even if all the employees aren’t able to join us on a build day. Jean Friday: Each employee can donate $1.00 to Habitat and wear the all so cozy jeans to work and a specified Friday. This is an easy way to raise money and can be an ongoing event for other non-profits as well. Recycle: Habitat for Humanity of Montgomery County is part of the Habitat Cans program. Habitat has posters, bumper stickers and other promotional items for your company to use to help promote the program. A member of your company collects cans and takes them to a local recycling center, records the pounds and amount of money you collected and in turn donates the funds back to Habitat. Team member sponsorship: Have each member of your team raise $100.00 by finding sponsorship. Some ideas may include quitting smoking (every day this member doesn’t light up the sponsor(s) will donate a determined amount of money.) or losing weight (every pound lost equals money for Habitat), the more creative and personal the member makes it, the more fun it will be for your office, family, friends to get involved! Habitat Drop Box: Place a box in your office along with a display about Habitat (Our office can supply some promotional items such as a Habitat for Humanity of Montgomery County fact sheet, and brochures, the number of homes we have rehabbed and even pictures of the site you will be working on.) Collect tool boxes, gift cards, can goods for new home owners. Brown Bag It? Bring your lunch instead of buying it one day per week, ask your colleagues to do the same and collect the money saved for Habitat.
