COME BUILD WITH US!
With minimal staff, Comal County Habitat for Humanity depends on volunteers for support with projects like home builds and repairs, but that’s not all! If you’re looking for something less strenuous, our Habitat ReStore is a volunteer-supported appliance, furniture, and building material resale center.
We want you, your company or community group to join us on the Construction Site or at our ReStore where we work to build safe, decent and affordable homes.
If you have a group of 5 or more that is interested in a Group Volunteer Opportunity, please fill out the Interest Form below.
