Find ongoing building opportunities for RV Care-A-Vanners

While we love having our RV Care-A-Vanners join us for scheduled builds, we understand that travel plans don’t always match up. That’s where drop-in volunteering comes in! 

We’ve put together a list of local Habitat for Humanity organizations who welcome Care-A-Vanners to stop by and lend a hand, even if there isn’t a scheduled build.  

What to know before you go 

If you’re thinking of dropping-in, here are a few things to keep in mind:  

  • Call ahead: Be sure to contact the local Habitat before you travel to check their work schedule and make sure they have something you can help with. 
  • Check the calendar: Drop-ins aren’t possible if there’s already a scheduled Care-A-Vanner build happening at that location.  
  • Plan for parking: You’ll likely need to find and pay for your own RV parking nearby, so it’s good to plan ahead.  
  • Come prepared: Most sites have tools available, but it’s best to bring your own basic gear.  
  • Be flexible about supervision: A full-time construction supervisor may not be available on site, so be prepared to work more independently at times.  
  • Bring your own lunch: Meals usually aren’t provided at drop-in sites.  
  • Be open to different teams: You might be working solo, with fellow RV Care-A-Vanners, or alongside local volunteers — it’s a great way to meet new people! 
  • Track your time: When you move on, be sure to report your hours to the  RV Care-A-Vanner desk.  
  • Let us know about new connections: If you’re the first Care-A-Vanner to reach out to a local Habitat and they’re interested in hosting future builds, please let the RV Care-A-Vanner desk know.
