Committee members are volunteers who serve behind-the-scenes making sure the Affiliate is prepared for each project and to serve as many local individuals in need as possible. Our standing committees include ReStore Support and Development, Church Relations, Family Service & Selection, Construction & Site Selection, and Publicity & Fundraising.
Our Board of Directors volunteer and commit to governing the operations so the affiliate may fulfill its mission. Our Board members are asked to invest time in understanding the vision of Habitat for Humanity and how our specific affiliate lives out that vision. For more information on how to become a Board or Committee Member, contact Caleb Farmer volunteer manager. -
We appreciate all our volunteers and do our best to make sure everyone has a fantastic experience. Part of having a great experience is safety. Due to the hazards of construction and other types of work, there are some limitations on what volunteers under 18 may do.
