Volunteers are a very valuable part of the success at our affiliate.  We could not build homes, operate four thrift stores or continue the mission of a better community without YOU!   

We need skilled and unskilled construction workers, retail workers and office help to fill the many positions available to our local residents. The age for volunteering is 14 years and up.

We provide community service opportunities for skilled and unskilled individuals needing community service  hours for school programs, county and government programs  or any other related service in Lake and Sumter Counties.

Whether you are an individual looking to make a difference in your community, a group wanting to come out for a day to help a family, or an organization wanting to partner with Habitat through a partial or full sponsorship -  we have a job for you!  Contact our Volunteer Coordinator TODAY and get started  or call 352-483-0434 ext 13

   Volunteer Opportunities

Besides Construction, Habitat has many other opportunities available for service:

   Thrift Stores

Habitat operates four thrift stores - one in Wildwood, Leesburg, Eustis and Groveland - that sell donated merchandise.  Volunteers are needed to sort, price & display items, to answer the phone, to run the cash register and help customers. Thrift Store proceeds cover all of our administrative overhead and help sponsor homes.

  Stamp program

Volunteers are needed to help soak, dry and sort used postage stamps.  These stamps are then sold to collectors as a fundraiser for Habitat.

  Office

Help Volunteers are needed to help in the office with filing, calling volunteers, and updating the database.  This is done during normal working hours Monday through Friday.

  Committees

Volunteers are needed on a variety of committees to "get the job done".  If you have an interest in serving on a committee (Family Partner, Family Selection, Construction, Development, Site Selection), please let the volunteer coordinator know
