Volunteers are the backbone of any Habitat project. They build the houses, feed the construction crew, raise vital funds, strengthen the community, and make the dream of home ownership a reality. Over the course of our Sharon, VT house build, 188 volunteers contributed just over 4,300 hours! Thank you for your participation!
