What We Need:

1. Lots: Reasonable and acceptable building lots are hard to find in Franklin County. Our local Habitat affiliate must be able to obtain the lot and build a house on it for a minimal cost in order to provide affordable homes for Habitat families. Therefore, lots need to be in neighborhoods of homes of similar size.
Habitat for Humanity will need building sites so our affiliate can provide safe, decent housing for families in need in our community. Please help by passing on to us information regarding any sites you believe might be appropriate for a Habitat house.

2. Financial contributions

3. Construction Supervision: It won't be long before we will be building our first house. When that time comes, we will need one or more volunteers capable of and willing to supervise the construction on an overall project basis. The ideal volunteer would have experience supervising residential construction and be willing to devote substantial time to the effort. Please contact us if you would like more information about this opportunity to serve.

4. Volunteers: Volunteers are the backbone of Habitat for Humanity. Everything in this organization is done by volunteers, from working with new homeowners, hammering nails, painting, feeding work crews, fundraisers, etc.

We also need volunteers on committees, such as the following: development, church relations, volunteer assistance, communications. What a great and rewarding way to help families in need in our community, and to meet new people, too!

5. Fundraisers: Habitat encourages organizations, churches, business and youth groups to create their own form of fundraising with the funds earmarked for Habitat of Franklin County. For more information, please contact us.
