Without volunteers WCM would not be able to help people in need purchase a home. Our homes are mostly built by volunteers. But, our volunteer opportunities are not limited to swinging a hammer, mudding drywall, painting walls, or installing baseboards. There are many levels needed to successfully complete a Habitat house: from selecting a family, to supporting that family before and after they are in their home; from ordering the materials, to paying the bills, and more.

Listed below are some of the ways you can get involved with HFHWCM to help in our mission to try to eliminate poverty. If you are interested in volunteering, have a question, or simply want more information, please contact the office by e-mail or phone (320-231-2704).
