It all depends! We appreciate the flexibility that you bring to the project; you'll find out about the day's projects once you arrive at the site.

What we're working on depends on the current phase of the home construction, so you could be quite literally doing a multitude of tasks that are needed at that time of the project. Keep in mind that no matter how "glamorous," all jobs are equally crucial to finish the build.
We ask that you bring your own water and lunch. You need to wear sturdy, closed toe shoes (preferably steel toed if you have them available to you. We provide all the tools and safety equipment (hardhats, safety glasses, earplugs, and dust-masks).

Your safety is paramount to us. If you are not able to show up with the appropriate clothing and shoes, please contact the site foreman for further instructions.
Group Contributions
Your contribution helps Habitat for Humanity cover the costs for affordable housing projects closer to being completed.

Why do we ask your team to contribute? On average, each Habitat house costs $100,000 to build. Individual and group contributions are our most important source of funding to ensure we are able to build a home for a family in need.

Your donations help us supply the required materials, training as well as supervision on each project. Funds can be raised by individuals, companies, or through matching funds and other grants. We are more than happy to provide you with fundraising ideas that work.

"Some community groups may be eligible to make a contribution on a sliding scale for these opportunities

Habitat for Humanity Pope County

Eligibility Requirements

Please review the information below that explains several things required to participate in this unique program.
  • Potential Habitat homeowners must demonstrate a need for safe,
    affordable housing. Needs will vary from community to community.

  • Prospective households are low to moderate income. In the U.S., we
    serve families whose income does not exceed 60% of the area median
    income as defined for the area by the U.S. Department of Housing and
    Urban Development. Homeowner eligibility and selection take place at the
    local level and it can vary from community to community.

  • Once selected, Habitat homeowners must partner with us throughout the
    process. This partnership includes performing “sweat equity,” or helping
    to build their own home or the homes of others in our homeownership
    program. Sweat equity can also include taking homeownership classes or
    performing volunteer work.

  • Homeowners must also be able and willing to pay an affordable
    mortgage. Habitat makes a reasonable effort to ensure that an affordable
    mortgage does not exceed 30% of the homeowner’s gross monthly income.
    Mortgage payments are cycled back into the community to help build
    additional Habitat houses.
