Volunteer

You can make a difference

As a Habitat affiliate, we recognize the needs of our three-county service area and provide home ownership opportunities which could include: housing construction; homeowner repairs; community involvement; fundraising; building site selection; partner family selection and support; mortgage servicing; and provide advocacy for safe and affordable homes in the affiliate community.

Our affiliate has been involved in numerous homeowner repairs projects and we have just completed our 15th new Habitat home build. Our next build is scheduled to begin in spring in Ladd, IL.
