Atlanta Habitat could not build without its volunteers. In fact, in 2008, it took more than 15,200 volunteers working more than 130,000 hours to build 52 new EarthCraft certified houses, manage our operations and run the ReStore. Volunteers construct houses, serve on committees, file, give presentations to groups, provide office assistance and more. This gift of time saves Atlanta Habitat over $2.7 million in labor costs each year.

Volunteers range from students to retirees, from skilled trades people to weekend do-it-yourselfers, from church and synagogue members to co-workers from large and small businesses.  The common thread is the desire to take part in something BIG – to help build affordable quality homes for qualified working families.
