Volunteer at Greater Green Bay habitat for Humanity

Volunteering

Habitat volunteers' impact goes beyond the homes we build together. When we build homes for families who work hard, need and deserve decent, affordable housing, we build a community of self-reliance, accountability, and stability. ​ 
​
Our volunteers make an even bigger impact than the homes we build together. Every volunteer has a hand in building homes, communities and hope whether they're hammering nails on the build site, preparing lunches or meals for volunteers, or spending time in the ReStore, every minute and hour counts toward a bigger purpose. 
​
​Every Habitat home purchased in Brown County serves individuals and families who have a need for affordable housing, the ability to pay for a 0% interest mortgage, and will partner with Habitat.

Construction & Build Site Volunteering

Interested in a hands-on experience? Sign up for one of our construction volunteer roles. Skilled labor and experience from construction are an added bonus when it comes to propelling the mission of building homes. And, for those who do not have any experience, we'll teach you everything you need to know and provide the tools to get the job done safely. 

Build site volunteer hours are Wednesdays ​and
​Thursdays - 7:45 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

ReStore Volunteering

Help out at Greater Green Bay's go-to home improvement store. Volunteers will find opportunities to be cashiers, donation assistants (facilitating the donation center in receiving goods and preparing merchandise), donations collections on the ReStore truck, metals recycling assistants, and other special projects.

Volunteer Statistics

Volunteer labor is vital to our mission at the bottom line. With volunteers on the build site and in the ReStore, Habitat for Humanity can lower the upfront cost of building a home. With the rising cost of tools and materials, the spotlight on volunteerism has never been brighter. Every year, we rely on thousands of volunteer hours and hundreds of volunteers to raise walls, and operate nearly an entire retail store. In the 2023/24 fiscal year, Greater Green Bay Habitat for Humanity welcomed 673 volunteers who completed 29,104 total hours.
