Volunteer CalendarThe stability and security of an affordable home can make all the difference for a family’s future. Every Habitat home changes lives: those of our Partner Families, and all those who support them in their journey to a better tomorrow.
We offer a variety of volunteer opportunities for groups, individuals, and community service programs. No experience is required- You can learn new skills while helping to build affordable homes in our region.
When you volunteer with Macomb County Habitat for Humanity, you support a critical mission while building skills, relationships, and communities. By coming together, we can give working families the keys they need to unlock the doors of independence, stability, and opportunity!
Our volunteers provide expertise, leadership, labor, and support at our construction sites, main office, events, and our two ReStores. Macomb Habitat can’t do it without YOU!
I saw Jimmy Carter on television back in 1990, and he was talking abut this organization called Habitat for Humanity. At the time, I had done a few remodeling projects around my house and I thought, “Now, here’s something I might be interested in.”
Volunteering with Habitat got me started with skills that eventually allowed me to open my own remodeling business, which I have been doing now for over 30 years.
Some of the best friends that I have were made through Habitat- whether it was going on road trips to various builds out of state, or just contributing to the mission which is simple, affordable housing.
I think is important for everyone to have a stable home to call their “base of operations.”

The minimum age required to volunteer is 16 years old. This is a Habitat International regulation. Youth aged 16 and older may engage in most all ReStore and construction activities, provided they are not designated hazardous activities. Individuals must be 18 years old to operate power tools and work at heights above 6 feet.
If you do not feel safe to drive due to weather conditions, please don’t. If you are signed up to work at one of our Habitat ReStores, you will be contacted regarding any closures.
We love experienced volunteers, but the vast majority of our volunteers have never had more construction experience than painting a bedroom or hanging a picture on the wall. Our site supervisors will teach you everything you need to know on your Build Day.
We encourage volunteers to dress in layers. Please wear clothing that can get dirty, stained, etc. Heavy footwear is recommended and closed toed shoes must be worn. No open-toed or high-heeled shoes are permitted.
Lunch is not provided by the Habitat team. We encourage individuals to pack a lunch and a water bottle.
Everything that you need for volunteering will be supplied. Volunteers may bring their own hand tools, such as hand gloves, hammers, construction measuring tapes, tool belts, marking pencils and utility knives, but we encourage you to clearly label them and keep track of them throughout the day. Macomb Habitat does not take responsibility for lost or damaged items.
