Location and RSVP link will be announced the week leading up to the event via Giveffect through Habitat for Humanity.
Typical Day:
Arrive at the project site at 8:30am and sign in.
To accomplish the most work, it’s possible that Habitat KC could split groups at separate site locations. We will direct you to your house assignment. Break for lunch around 11:30 am (must provide yourself). Enjoy your evening and feel great about all that you contributed!!
Rules:
Dress prepared for any weather and, of course, to get dirty.
All construction volunteers must be at least 16 years old (federal regulations).
Weather is often a factor; activities could be cancelled due to inclement weather.
Wear shoes with thick, sturdy soles.
Each worker should bring work gloves and wear a mask.
Hard hats, dust masks, goggles and ear plugs are available out on the sites.
Be aware of your surroundings – watch for holes, each other, tools, etc.
If you bring your own tools, mark them clearly.
Jugs of ice water will be on site for your group to share. We encourage you to bring refillable water bottles to use on site rather than disposable cups. If you’d like to bring other nonalcoholic beverages, breakfast and/or snacks, you are absolutely welcome to do so. We just ask your group to help pick up trash around the work site at the end of the day.
Habitat KC reserves the right to cancel a build day due to the weather or other circumstances out of their control. Construction Weather Hotline: 816-924-1096 updated by 7:15am, Dial 6, then Dial 1.
Construction volunteers do not need to have any prior experience in construction or bring any of their own tools; we will give you all of the education and tools you need!
In case of inclement weather, please call our Weather Hotline at 816-924-1096, press 6, press 1 to hear the recorded message for any cancellations or changes. We update the message by 7:15 a.m. each morning.
Effective 4/30/2021 - Volunteers are NOT required to wear a mask while outdoors. All volunteers are required to wear a mask over their nose and mouth while indoors on the construction site.
All volunteers must be 16 or older to volunteer. Any volunteers under the age of 18 must have a parent or guardian fill out our Minor Volunteer Waiver and Permission Form.
