Volunteers
        Volunteers are the driving force behind Habitat for Humanity. Volunteers give Habitat's vision a tangible form. Listed below are the various volunteer opportunities available. We would love to have you join us in helping people who are trying to help themselves.

Volunteer Opportunities!

 

       Join the Lunch Bunch!

Local restaurants, churches, businesses, groups, and individuals are invited to  provide or make lunches for our hardworking volunteer homebuilders.  

Your offer to help only 1-day a year makes a difference!   

Call Julie Hale at 762-4744, x 103 today!  Lunch Bunch Club benefits everyone!

 

 

 

  Home Store

We are presently seeking volunteers to serve as customer service representatives in our HomeStore.  Store hours are Monday-Friday 9 a.m - 5 p.m. and Saturdays 9 a.m. - 2 p.m.  We are closed on Sunday.

 Construction/Deconstruction Volunteers


Work side by side with future homeowners to help build our houses. No specific skills required except the willingness to "swing a hammer" or "stroke" a brush. Work with Crew Leaders and Site Supervisors during the entire construction process of building a Habitat house. Training is given on site to all new volunteers.

 Available Shifts:  

Wednesdays, 8:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. and Saturdays, 8:00 a.m. - 3:30 p.m. 

Occasionally we build on other weekdays and need  volunteers for those rare occasions.

 

 

Deconstruction Volunteers are also needed.  This crew goes out to homes in the Cape Fear area that are getting ready to be demolished and removes items that will be sold in our HomeStore.  Previous deconstruction experience is not a requirement.  This crew meets on an as needed basis.  If you are interested in volunteering, please contact Julie Hale at (910) 762-4744 ext. 103.
 

  Fundraising Committee

Cape Fear Habitat is looking for a few good men/women for the fundraising committee.  Previous fundraising experience is a plus but not a requirement.  Duties include assisting with planning and set up of special events and fundraisers and brainstorming ideas for future possible fundraisers.  Meetings are held once a month (and occasionally more often as events get closer.)

 

Call Kitty Yerkes, x-102 for more details!

  Family Mentor/Family Selection

Cape Fear Habitat for Humanity is in need of Volunteers who would like to mentor and support our potential homeowners in the Cape Fear Area.  If you are interested in giving the gift of time, please call Toni Haseltine, our Family Services Coordinator at (910) 762-4744 ext. 106.

We are also looking for people that can volunteer on our Family Selection committee.  This committee meets the first Thursday of the month at the Cape Fear Habitat offices and votes on which families should be selected into the program.  Duties also include going to potential homeowners homes to meet with the family and present your impressions/opinions at the meetings.  If you are interested in volunteering on this committee, please contact Toni Haseltine at the number above.
