We couldn't do what we do at Habitat for Humanity - Ozaukee without the generosity of our volunteers. Many find the opportunity to help a family realize their dream of owning a home to be a rewarding experience. From hands-on help at our work sites to preparing a lunch or snacks for our crews to joining one of our many committees, there's a place for you at Habitat to share your skills and talents. You'll have the opportunity to make new friends while working alongside others in a meaningful cause. Oh, and the gratitude you'll feel from the deserving families in our community - priceless.
We need a few hands to help set up and take down things for our groundbreaking event on Wednesday, July 17th. We will be selling raffle tickets and serving

Habitat for Humanity is looking for some volunteers who have a trailer or a pick up truck to go over to Port Washington on Sunday, July 21st to pick up the aluminum cans that they are collecting for us during Fish Days. If you are willing to help pick up the cans and then take them over to the Ozaukee Iron and Metal for us on Monday we would greatly appreciate your help. However, If you can pick them up, but can't drop them off on Monday, the cans could be brought to the Ozaukee Nonprofit Center and left in our collection area behind the building and we will find someone else to take them in during the week.

Construction Volunteers & Crew Catering
Our volunteers support our homeowners in all phases of site preparation, home construction, landscaping and repairs. We welcome skilled, semi-skilled and DIY hobbyists, along with unskilled laborers who simply want to lend a helping hand (or hammer). Here are some areas we can always use help with as we complete construction on a new Habitat home:
In addition, these hard-working crews need to be fed, so we also welcome sponsors or caring hosts to prepare or provide a meal on our build days. We typically have between 6 and 15 volunteers who appreciate a good meal and the kind hospitality our community provides.
