“Keep the site moving”

If you volunteer with Habitat for Humanity DeKalb in Atlanta, you might get the opportunity to work with construction supervisor Bobby Dunn.

“A way to give back”

Some Habitat volunteers wield a different set of tools.

“I feel good that I can do this for my kids”

A Habitat house starts with the families who partner with us, like LaShonda and her two sons.

“I tell everyone I meet”

Homeowner Youkhanna is one of Habitat for Humanity’s biggest advocates. “I tell people in the grocery, in church, wherever I go, how Habitat for Humanity has changed my life.”

“No bigger satisfaction”

Everyone’s goal on a Habitat build site is the same: a world where everyone has a decent place to live. But volunteers come with many different motivations and skill levels.

“What brought it home to me”

Like so many Habitat supporters, Nahla Rajan has seen the results of her gifts in action firsthand on the build site.

“When you add it all up through the years, it’s amazing”

Whirlpool has donated more than 175,000 ranges and refrigerators for new Habitat homes.

“You see so much more confidence”

A key group of volunteers are those who serve as committee members to move the mission forward, like Dave Hamra, family selection committee member with Tucson Habitat.
