Habitat for Humanity of La Plata County couldn’t accomplish the work we do without the help of dedicated volunteers. Countless hours go into each Habitat home, but volunteer opportunities are not limited to construction work. Opportunities include serving on committees, helping in our ReStore, providing lunch to hungry construction volunteers, and participating in a limitless variety of events.

• Our BUILD

  The homes built by HFHLPC are ENERGY STAR® Certified, meeting or exceeding federally-set standards for energy efficiency from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s program for ENERGY STAR-Qualified Homes. Our construction crew strives to attain sustainable building standards.  Participating on a Build day is a truly rewarding experience.No experience is necessary and we supply the tools and materials needed to have a successful day. We encourage creating Group Build Days with businesses, churches and organizations. Build Teams not only get the homes completed sooner, but they also offer an opportunity to support the community and nurture relationships with coworkers.

  Our Construction Manager, Donna, (we affectionately call her Big Momma Donna) will ensure you have a fun experience and you’ll learn a lot! Contact the Program Manager to see how we can get you signed up or how we can organize a group build day for you! Learn more about our BUILD

• Women Build

  This program promotes the involvement of women in the construction of Habitat homes. Women-built projects provide opportunities for women to learn construction in a supportive environment. Women Build works with affiliates to nurture, recruit and train women to build and maintain simple, decent, healthy and affordable homes.By planning projects where the majority of volunteers are women, Women Build creates greater involvement in our construction efforts which increases the number of homes Habitat can build! Women needn’t wait for others to address substandard housing issues. They have the capability and determination to be part of the solution-one family at a time. Learn More

• ReStore
