Habitat for Humanity Volunteer Work Days

​

This spring RCPC will once again partner with Habitat for Humanity by sponsoring two volunteer work days. Habitat for Humanity provides affordable mortgages, financial education, and training for families who are unable to obtain a home through conventional means. To qualify for a no-interest 30-year loan from Habitat, candidates are required to complete over a year of homeownership classes and sweat equity hours on other properties as well as their own. Mortgage payments are used to build future Habitat houses.

 

Although it is too early to know which specific site or sites we will be working on, the focus of construction will be in the City Target Area in SE Roanoke City. Our sponsored work days will be Wednesday, April 24, and Saturday, April 27. Sign up to volunteer online at tinyurl.com/RCPCHabitatVolunteer2024 or at the link in the This Week @ RCPC.

 

All workdays will be 8:00 AM - 2:00 PM and daily groups must be 12 volunteers or less. No experience is necessary but all volunteers must be at least 16 years old. Habitat will provide all required tools and safety equipment, water, coffee, and snacks. Volunteers will need to provide their own lunch and a refillable water bottle, work gloves are strongly advised. Dress for the weather and wear sturdy closed-toed shoes like hiking boots.
