Habitat For Humanity In Monmouth County

Habitat for Humanity in Monmouth County (HFHMC), an affiliate of Habitat for Humanity, seeks to eliminate sub-standard housing and help low-income families achieve the dream of home ownership.

Construction Volunteers Needed. Looking for a few good men/women with carpentry skills - in particular framing, sheetrock, flooring, etc. However no experience needed, we will teach and train!

We are currently building wheelchair ramps at the homes of senior or disabled families within Monmouth County. New home construction will begin in Middletown for a deserving family. Location will be sent to you a few days beforehand, we meet at the job site (TBD.) We may  be doing cleanup, demo, framing, sheetrock, insulation, painting, flooring, siding, landscaping, etc. 

In addition to volunteering on a construction site, we could use  volunteers in our ReStore located at 45 South Street in Freehold. Minimum age requirement is 14 years old. The store is open Tuesdays thru Saturdays from 10 - 5 and you can choose your hours.

Here are a few more facts about us - 

Habitat for Humanity in Monmouth County was founded with the belief that every man, women and child should have a simple, affordable place to live in dignity and safety.  These families are in need of a hand up, not a hand out.  Habitat for Humanity Monmouth County (HFHMC) has been able to get over 125 families back in their homes since Superstorm Sandy struck and have built 61 new homes since 1989.
