Volunteer  

Maumee Valley Habitat for Humanity and its Home Repair Ministry Program is a volunteer-driven organization. With a minimal staff the Home Repair Program depends on volunteers to be able to provide Repairs to low-income families at affordable prizes. Though there is always a need for specialists and skilled volunteers, we warmly welcome people from all walks of life.

The Home Repair Ministry Program provides an opportunity to volunteer for Habitat for Humanity year round — during off seasons when there are not any volunteer chances for new builds.  You will also gain insight and experience in home repairs, as well as, get the satisfaction of directly facilitating a  family to stay in a healthier and safer home.

You are welcome to volunteer as an individual or in a group and as often as you like.
