	Thrivent & Harvest Home - 2019 New Build on Holworthy Street Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteers and donors from Thrivent Financial, Harvest Home Church Coalition, and other local faith organizations are coming together to make another Habitat Home possible!

If your faith organization wants to join this effort, email eduble@rochesterhabitat.org!

August and September are now open, and as the build continues we will open dates on a rolling basis. When days are 2 weeks out, we may close days that have nobody signed up so that our supervisor has more flexibility. You can click volunteer to preview shifts before confirming your selection.

For full days, please bring a bagged lunch.

Additional Construction FAQs:

• We work year-round as long as conditions are safe. For issues of inclement weather, our construction sites will close when the Rochester City School District has also closed.
• Upon arriving, please sign-in! Signing in is necessary to be covered by our secondary insurance, to confirm volunteer hours, and for us to send you a thank you!
• No skills needed, our construction team are trained professionals who will walk you through your assigned tasks while volunteering.

Attire:
• Dress for the weather, plan to work outside, and expect to get dirty!
• We recommend hard-soled work shoes or hiking boots, old work clothes, work gloves, and dressing in layers.
• Also recommended: hat or sunscreen for hot weather, hand sanitizer or baby wipes for lunch.
• No halters tops. No sandals or flip flops.
• Avoid wearing jewelry.
• Place valuables in a locked trunk/out of sight, or carried in a waist pouch.

Amenities on Site:
• We provide all tools and safety equipment; but if you have your favorites, you can bring them.

Additional Information:
• Construction volunteers must be at least 16 years old. 16 and 17 year old volunteers must have a parent or guardian's consent: Youth Permission Form is here.
