Become a Habitat Volunteer

Individual, Community Service, and Group Opportunities

Brunswick County Habitat for Humanity offers both individuals and groups a way to give back to their Brunswick County neighbors.

Non Construction Volunteers serve behind the scenes.  They help in our ReStores preparing materials for display, assisting customers, and keeping the ReStore organized. Other volunteers serve on one of our committees raising funds, supporting families, helping out with PR, and staffing special events.

Construction Volunteers build homes every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.  No prior experience in construction needed!  See the Construction Crew page for more details.

All prospective volunteers should complete a Volunteer Information Form and Release and Waiver of Liability and return it to the Habitat Office.

Contact Dee Antonio in the Habitat Office at (910) 454-0007 or e-mail her if you have any questions.
