There is an online safety course that all volunteers can take when signing up for work. Safety equipment and tools will be provided by Habitat on-site.
All volunteers are welcome, regardless of experience. Work can range from demolition, yard work, and preparing the home for remodeling to finishing work such as caulking, painting, appliance installation and cleaning. If this is your first time volunteering with Habitat, you will need to complete a short online safety course before signing up for your dates. There are 10 volunteer slots available for each day, so good fun and community will abound. Please pack a lunch and bring plenty of water to stay hydrated on the job!
About Habitat for Humanity
Lancaster Lebanon Habitat for Humanity partners with local first-time homebuyers who are making around 40-80% of our area’s annual median income. When an applicant is accepted, that homebuyer completes 250-400 hours of sweat equity towards the completion of their home. Habitat also utilizes as much volunteer labor as possible from local community members to keep building costs down.
Once the home is finished and the sweat equity hours are completed, Habitat is able to offer the homebuyer a 20-30 year mortgage at an affordable rate (around 30% of their monthly income) at a 0% interest rate. The new homeowners pay that monthly mortgage to Habitat and that is what enables the Habitat to keep building new homes.
