Thank You Volunteers!

Volunteers make our communities safer and our society is more equitable due to volunteers.

Recently the Do Good Institute at the University of Maryland released data saying the value of a volunteer hour has increased to a national average of $28.54 per hour. As volunteers are being celebrated during national volunteer week, it is important to realize how much value, more so than their hour wage, volunteers contribute.

Through volunteer mobilization, efficient management and tax-deductible donations of money and building materials, Habitat for Humanity builds affordable, decent homes with the help of the homeowner (partner) families.

In a traditional year more than 2 million people around the world will volunteer with Habitat for Humanity. Our volunteers always make a positive difference in the communities we serve. Their volunteerism is greater than the hourly value, volunteering their time builds community and provides a family a safe, decent, affordable home.

MCHFH appreciates all of our volunteers. We cannot accomplish what we do without the dedication, compassion and support of the community and volunteers. During National Volunteer Week we would like to say thank you to everyone that has volunteered with us. We know that volunteers are critical to our mission of eliminating poverty housing in Midland County, and making decent, affordable shelter for all people a matter of conscience. We are extremely grateful for all the volunteers who have volunteered with us since 1988.

Although we have paused volunteer engagement at this time due to COVID safety precautions, we are eager to invite volunteers back to the build site when we are able to safely gather. Watch our social media page for updates on how you can volunteer with us.

Thank you to everyone who has volunteered with us to create safe, decent, affordable housing in Midland County.
