Ways to Volunteer
Urgent Volunteer Needs
Homeownership Support Committee
The Homeownership Support Committee plays a vital role in helping families succeed on their journey to homeownership. Committee members walk alongside Habitat families as trusted guides and advocates—supporting homebuyer education classes, participating in meaningful milestone events, and checking in along the way to ensure families feel informed, supported, and empowered.
This role is about more than logistics—it’s about relationship-building, encouragement, and helping remove barriers so families can confidently move toward owning a safe and stable home.

Join the Store Pick-Up Crew
Love teamwork, meeting people, and getting a good workout while you do good? Wondering if you can meet your goal of being on every road in East Jefferson County? Our Habitat Pick-Up Crew rides along in the box truck to help collect donations from generous community members — furniture, appliances, and more that keep our Store stocked, which in turn helps fund homes being built!
We’re looking for volunteers who are:
- Able to lift and move heavy items (with help, of course!)
- Friendly and great team players, willing to be the face of Habitat with donors in their homes
- Not required to drive, but driving opportunities are available for trained and insured volunteers
This is a key volunteer role for the Habitat Store. Our Pick-Up Crew keeps the whole cycle of donation, reuse, and homebuilding moving. Submit a volunteer application today and be one of our big helpers with a big impact!
Help With the Care of our Vehicles
Do you have a clean driving record and a knack for keeping things in good shape? We’re looking for a volunteer to help with the care of our vehicles, and the main task is a simple one: periodically taking our F-150 to the car wash. Because it has a rack on top, it can’t go through a drive-through, but the good news is there’s a full-service car wash conveniently located right next to Habitat. The job includes a quick tidy of the cab beforehand, clearing out any miscellaneous construction supplies and random debris that tend to accumulate between washes.
This volunteer would be added to our insurance, so a good driving record is required. If this sounds like your kind of contribution, we’d love to hear from you! Please email volunteer@habitatejc.org.
