Volunteer

volunteers help us build more than homes

We rely on volunteers to help us build more than homes, we build community. Habitat offers opportunities for people of all abilities and skills to come together and take action to address housing needs in the community. When you volunteer with Habitat, you join a community ready to make sure everyone has a decent place to live.

build with us
We use volunteers for the majority of construction work in our homes. The Building Committee and Construction Manager provide expert guidance and supervision on-site. If this is your first time lifting a hammer, or if you are a seasoned pro, we have opportunities to get involved on builds in Dubuque and Jackson County.

restore
Habitat ReStores are home improvement stores and donation centers selling a variety of high-quality furniture, appliances, building materials, fixtures, tools, and more. Volunteers help receive, process, test, and sell donated items. The sales from donated items help fund Habitats mission to build more homes in Dubuque and Jackson Counties.
