Our team of volunteer bakers brings their talents to our job site, events, and meetings by providing baked goods or lunches to volunteers. Our calendar of builds and events is sent out each month to interested volunteers. Simply sign-up for a day and Habitat will confirm the number of baked goods and location a week in advance to help you plan. Treat makers are some of our most popular volunteers! To join and bake for builders, contact Amy at volunteer@habitatejc.org or 360-379-2827.
