Volunteers are the heart and soul of Habitat for Humanity-Golden Empire. Without volunteers we would be incapable and ineffective in carrying out our mission. We are dedicated to eliminating substandard housing and homelessness worldwide and to making adequate, affordable shelter a matter of conscience and action. Our ministry was founded on the conviction that every man, woman and child should have a simple, decent place to live in dignity and safety. Volunteers are an essential and integral part of this plan. Volunteers provide skilled and unskilled labor towards the building of these homes which in turn allow us to sell them at no profit. It is because of the hard work and dedication of these volunteers that ordinary and respectful families have the opportunity to own their own home. Houses built by volunteers become homes for people who are in desperate need of adequate shelter. For many families it is an unattainable dream become reality.

At Habitat for Humanity-GE there is a wide array of volunteer opportunities. There is of course the most notable opportunity of participating in the building of home. There are also opportunities to volunteer at our local Restore which is a highly discounted home improvement store. Aside from these we have committee volunteer opportunities. We have everywhere from a building committee to fundraising committee to a public relations committee and much more. Finally, we have what we call an Elf crew that works on a home during the week and prepares or does a lot of the prep work for Saturdays when the majority of volunteers come together. Whatever you choose, you will be playing a big part in giving back to your community. No role is too small or insignificant we are all part of one great big work in accord to God's word.

We are committed and wish to demonstrate the love and teachings of Jesus Christ. We will act in all ways in accord with the belief that God's love and grace abound for all; that every human life is priceless; that we must never exploit another for our own profit; that Christ can multiply the miniscule to accomplish the magnificent; and that we are to act as faithful stewards of the resources we receive.

We hope that you will take the time to join us so that together we can build a better future for those in desperate need. For volunteer opportunities and or questions please contact us at 661-861-8449 or send us a message.
