Group Build Day volunteer

We welcome you to build with us! Your group can directly help hardworking families to escape substandard living conditions, gain stability and improve their lives, through building affordable homeownership.

Habitat Huronia offers a unique way for groups to give back to the community by building together during one of our Habitat Team Build Days. Equally rewarding, you can also volunteer alongside a Habitat family! Habitat Huronia relies on the generosity of our supporters to fund the construction of our homes. Groups will have a fundraising goal or they can choose from a pre-set level.

We make it easy to fundraise by providing your team with a personalized online fundraising page to use to reach out to your colleagues, friends and family and request that they sponsor your volunteer efforts. If you prefer, we can also provide printed pledge forms.
