Not good at swinging a hammer? We all have different talents and interests. Habitat can put them to use! Just look at the opportunities! Habitat Committees typically meet on weeknights @ our Administrative Office (3763 Forest Park Ave, 63108); but check with the committee to be certain! Construction, Finance, Law, and ReStore Committees need volunteers with relevant experience.

For every hour a volunteer spends on site, there are approximately ten hours spent behind the scenes, volunteering in the office, ReStore, on committees and at Special Events.
