“There are a lot of different ways that folks can connect with Watauga County Habitat for Humanity. We really appreciate our partners, donors, and volunteers since our organization depends on people willing to help. Some different ways that people can help are volunteering on our home sites swinging hammers and building, by volunteering in our ReStore, serving on our committees and on our Board of Directors, or by donating directly to our mission.” – Alex Hooker, Executive Director Watauga County Habitat for Humanity.
If you are ever fortunate enough to be on a Habitat job site, you might see inspirational quotes and encouraging words written on beams and studs. This has become a common practice of Habitat for Humanity around the country. Volunteers are encouraged to leave behind good words and good vibes for the new homeowner.
It takes so many generous businesses and volunteers to complete a Habitat project, below are a few pictures of volunteers at the Potter project.
