Verde Valley Habitat for Humanity Volunteer

We are pleased and proud to announce that Verde Valley Habitat for Humanity was voted Readers Choice 2008 Winner for volunteer opportunities in the Verde Valley. Join in the experience! Call us today to volunteer.

Habitat for Humanity International is an ecumenical Christian ministry that welcomes to its work all people dedicated to the cause of eliminating poverty housing and providing affordable housing to those in need. Since its founding in Americus, Ga., in 1976, Habitat for Humanity has built more than 300,000 houses in nearly 85 countries, providing simple, decent and affordable shelter for more than 1 million people and we could not achieve these goals without you, the Volunteer!

Volunteer work provides an opportunity to grow, to bond and to experience good feelings that are carried back to life through your family and the workplace. Our local affiliate, Verde Valley Habitat for Humanity, is 100% volunteer! We have no paid staff, and each person who works beside you is there for their own reasons; they just plain want to help! Whether you are new to the area, recently retired, widowed or you wish to involve your youth or business group in a worthwhile project, give us a call. It is amazing what we can accomplish with just one additional pair of hands.
