As of June 3rd, the Eastern Shore of Virginia Habitat for Humanity will have Saturday hours available for volunteers. In order to build three to four homes each year, there is a need for many volunteers. Lately there have only been weekday hours available to work, but we now have supervision for a Saturday crew.

If you have wanted to volunteer to work on a Habitat house, but work schedules did not allow it, this is your opportunity. Every Saturday in June there will be work in Keller, or possibly Bridgetown. The volunteers will be asked to work from 9 AM until about 3 PM, and bring a bag lunch. Most of the current work is indoor work - sheetrock, painting, hanging cabinets and trim work. You do not need experience, as long as you are willing to learn.

Habitat expects to continue Saturday hours as long as there are volunteers to work, so please register as soon as possible. Each volunteer needs to fill out an application and liability form before being allowed to work, and will be scheduled according to your availability and the work schedule.

Please call the Habitat office at 442-HOUS(4687) for more information. Please leave your name, mailing address, phone number and availability in order to add you to our schedule. You can also print and complete a volunteer/liability form here.

Whether you want to work one Saturday a year, a month or occasionally, we need you. If you want to come as a group, we can arrange for up to ten people to work together. Please help us eliminate sub standard housing on the Eastern Shore one family at a time.
