Share your time. Lend a hand. Volunteer.

Summer 2025 Update:

We’ve poured the foundation for the next duplex in our Peters Garden development in Silverton — and another is right around the corner!

Things are moving fast; we urgently need more hands to keep the momentum going. Ready to roll up your sleeves and make a real difference? Come build with us and help create our next Habitat home! 

Everyone is welcome to volunteer, and this summer we’d especially love to see teens 16+ join us to make a difference!

Healthy families and healthy communities start with safe, decent and affordable housing.  We appreciate the dedicated community members, such as you, who have a desire to partner with us in our efforts to help local families build strength, stability and self-reliance through shelter.

There are many ways to become involved in Habitat’s work. In addition to working on the construction site, volunteers can also help in our ReStores, serve on a committee or work in our admin office. 

It's easy to sign up! Just click on the button below and you'll be directed to our VolunteerHub site where can you create an account and view all upcoming volunteer opportunities.

How Habitat for Humanity Works

  • Habitat for Humanity builds and repairs decent houses using volunteer labor, donations of materials or money, and efficient management
  • Houses are built and then sold at no profit, with low-interest mortgages that partner families can afford. All mortgage payments go toward funding to build additional houses       
  • Houses are not given away. Homeowners put forward 500 hours of “Sweat Equity” while houses are constructed. Hours may be contributed by friends as well as family, and can be used either on the build site, or in mandatory classes.
  • More information about our Program can be found on the Homeownership Webpage.
