detail: This month, remember that there are plenty of construction-work opportunities at Habitat for Humanity. HFH is a unique volunteer experience for people of all ages, races, religions, and abilities. The tangible results of a day on the construction site, or the emotional involvement in a family's growth are things that make the Habitat experience more fulfilling than you can ever imagine. We give volunteers an opportunity to not only make a difference with a days work, but also make a connection with a family moving towards stability, entitlement, and homeownership. Volunteer hours typically run 9 am- 4 pm, weekdays and weekends. Opportunities are subject to availability, so please call to schedule an appointment:
Los Angeles: Please fill out the on-line volunteer form, or contact HFH-LA at volunteers@habitatla.org or 213-975-9757.
