Habitat for humanity
The Habitat for Humanity cell works with the local HFH organization here in Waco. General Construction Volunteers work on construction sites to help build affordable homes for working families in the City of Waco. Tasks range from assembling the frame of the house to painting the siding. No prior construction experience or knowledge is required. There will also be opportunities to volunteer at the local Restore, which involves organizing low-cost home appliances and maintaining the location. Proceeds from the Restore go directly to Habitat for Humanity.
Construction Volunteer times will be posted in our GroupMe on a changing, weekly basis.
Restore volunteering times:
Wednesday-Saturday, 10 am-12 pm
Wednesday-Friday, 1pm-5pm
