Our affiliate of Habitat for Humanity has a goal of completing 4 homes for families this year! We can't do it without you! SPECIAL EVENTS
Volunteer Orientation:
Do you want to volunteer but you're not really sure how it works? Want a
little more information about Habitat in Whatcom County? Come join us
for a short orientation about volunteering with Habitat. We'll discuss
what happens on the building site, how to get involved, what's expected
of you... and so much more. This will be a short meeting, only about an
hour long. Everyone is invited, even if you have already begun to
volunteer! Please feel free to bring your friends and your questions!
