Costs and Benefits
What does it cost to become a Hancock County Habitat volunteer? What are the benefits? This is one situation where the cost/benefit ratio is extremely favorable to you, the volunteer. The cost is a few hours a week or a month, building at the site, serving on a committee, or baking brownies for the workers.
The benefits, which are numerous, include working with other dedicated people who want to eliminate substrandard housing in our area and experiencing that very special feeling that comes with knowing you are giving a hand up to someone in your community. From the ground breaking ceremony to the house dedication, it is our volunteers who turn lumber, nails, roofing shingles, and gallons of paint into a real home for a deserving family.
Site Supervisors
If you are moderately handy, or are a skilled craftsman, your talents will be put to good use. We are always in need of supervisors for our Wednesday and Saturday programs to instruct and guide our volunteers. Or, if you prefer to help out in other ways, help is welcome on committees and in doing office-related work.
Community/Business Opportunities
There are several ways to join in the work of Hancock County Habitat for Humanity.
 Covenant Congregations sign an agreement with Hancock County Habitat to pray for the work of Habitat, to bring the matter of housing up to the people of their community, to have an action plan to come work on a building site, and to provide some financial support to the work that is going on in Hancock County through Habitat.
Answering God’s Call to Serve
Christ didn’t commission Habitat, but he did commission the church. The church gave birth to Habitat’s International ministry and has sustained it for 27 years and within Hancock County for 15 of those years. Habitat is now in 84 countries and has built homes for over 600,000 people. In Hancock County alone we have built 11 homes housing 46 people. Our goal is for Habitat to be an arm of Hancock County’s churches and their outreach ministry. We need your help. Just as Jesus gathered his apostles to do his work, Habitat brings congregations together to raise the funds and hammers and provide the prayer necessary to create a home for a family in Hancock County.
