Thank you for your interest in volunteering to work with Habitat for Humanity Peninsula!  We work hard to eliminate substandard housing on the Peninsula and to build homes for hardworking families.  We can only provide safe, decent, affordable houses to our families with the help of volunteers like you.  We hope you find working with Habitat for Humanity both fun and rewarding!

For more information about how you can help Habitat for Humanity, please visit our How You Can Help page.

Below, you can find information concerning volunteer opportunities for construction, Habitat ReStore and the Habitat office.

Your required annual liability waiver can be download here.  Please be sure to get this to the Habitat for Humanity office at P.O. Box 1443, Newport News, VA 23601 prior to your first day of volunteering.  If unable to mail or fax (757-591-0455), please bring with you that first day!

Groups and individuals, if you are interested in construction, please sign up using our our volunteer database so we may contact you (or your group) about all future construction volunteer opportunities.  Also, please add Habitat to your "safe" email list to ensure you receive our Volunteer Alerts. 

If you've signed up for the volunteer database or for a specific house, we will email you as volunteer opportunities arise.  If you haven't heard from Habitat for Humanity, it's because there are no opportunities at that specific time or because your email server bounced our Volunteer Alert back to us.  Please add Habitat to your "safe" email list to prevent this.

Volunteers are also needed to help seek out land!  There are many ways to build a Habitat home, but we can't begin to build without land.  A lack of land continues to be our biggest obstacle to reaching our goal of building more safe, decent, affordable homes.  You can help!  If you see or know of ANY land that is for sale, please visit our Land Info Database to provide the location and any other information you can think of.  We'll take it from there!  We have cash & tax credits/deductions available.  Without land, we cannot build!
 

The ReStore is our Building Materials Warehouse, which accepts donations of new and gently used building materials.  Please visit our ReStore web pages for more information about hours, donations, and staff.  The ReStore is open to the public and we sell all items at greatly reduced prices, usually from 50-90% below retail.  100% of the profits from the ReStore are used to build more homes in our communities.

With so many great donations coming in, we really need volunteers!  The ReStore needs volunteers Tuesday – Friday from 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. Volunteers in the ReStore handle a variety of duties, including Customer Service, Driver Pick-up and Warehouse Inventory/Pricing. If you are interested in volunteering at the ReStore, please feel free to call the ReStore at 757-246-4955, and the ReStore is located at 9614 Warwick Boulevard (in the Hilton Shopping Center) in Newport News.

We don't currently have any office volunteer opportunities at this time. 

Our Habitat offices are open Monday – Friday from 9:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. and we can usually use help with volunteers who will make a 4-hour commitment at least once a week. Duties include answering phones, filing, copying and soliciting donations.  Our office is located at 809 Main Street in Newport News.

We rely on volunteers to make the building process possible.
Again, thank you for your interest in Habitat for Humanity Peninsula.
