Volunteer

Volunteers are the heart of Habitat for Humanity's mission, playing a vital role in building and repairing homes, supporting events, and spreading awareness. Their time, skills, and dedication help create safe, affordable housing for families in need, directly impacting communities and changing lives. Volunteers embody the spirit of generosity, making Habitat’s vision of a world where everyone has a decent place to live possible.

Please Note: We Do Not Accept Court-Ordered Community Service

At this time, Habitat for Humanity DeKalb is unable to accommodate court-ordered community service hours. Due to limited volunteer opportunities, we are prioritizing individual and group volunteers who are not fulfilling court mandates. We understand this may be disappointing, and we encourage you to check with other nearby Habitat ReStores or affiliates, which may have more opportunities available for court-ordered service.

Thank you for your understanding.
