Why Volunteering Matters
Volunteering to build a Habitat for Humanity house in Brown County is not merely a gesture of goodwill; it's a tangible investment in the well-being of our local community. These homes, constructed through the collective efforts of dedicated volunteers, provide more than just shelter — they offer families the opportunity for stability, security, and a brighter future. It's crucial to understand that these homes are not free giveaways; they are purchased by hardworking families through an affordable, 0% interest mortgage. This approach ensures that homeowners take an active role in their journey toward a better life while fostering a sense of pride and ownership. By volunteering, you become a crucial part of this transformative process, contributing to the creation of a sustainable and thriving community where the dream of homeownership becomes a reality for those who need it most. Your time and effort on the build site are direct contributions to the resilience and vitality of Brown County, making a lasting impact on the lives of families and the fabric of our local neighborhoods.
The impact of Greater Green Bay Habitat for Humanity's volunteer force is nothing short of extraordinary. With the dedicated commitment of over 700 volunteers, our community has witnessed the transformation of tens of thousands of hours into tangible change. These volunteers, driven by a shared vision of creating affordable housing solutions, have poured their time and talent into building homes and supporting the mission in the ReStore. Their collective efforts, totaling over 25,000 hours, are the backbone of our organization, representing a powerful force for positive change. Through the hands-on work of our volunteers on Habitat build sites and in the ReStore, these volunteers are not just constructing homes; they are crafting a future filled with hope, stability, and opportunities for families in need. The selfless contributions of our volunteers ripple through our community, leaving a lasting impact that extends far beyond the physical structures they help build. Each volunteer demonstrates incredible generosity and dedication to the mission of Habitat for Humanity and their impact echoes in the lives they touch and the homes they help create.
