Responding to the needs right in our own back yard!
The Saint James mission team has a new exciting opportunity to transform a home for Habitat For Humanity in our downtown Lancaster neighborhood! No experience is necessary and training is provided onsite.
Work can range from demolition, yard work, and preparing the home for remodeling to finishing work such as caulking, painting, appliance installation and cleaning. All volunteers are welcome—regardless of experience. If this is your first time volunteering with Habitat, you will need to take a short online safety course prior to 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!
Masks are currently being worn (due to COVID) while working inside. Masks—and a hat, eye protection and gloves—are strongly recommended due to the nature of the demolition work. Parking at the site will be on Lime Street or Susquehanna and Juniata Streets around the corner from the property. You are welcome to sign up for one or as many days as you would like.
