Participate in Habitat for Humanity

It’s not over, as I’ll want to help again, but today I reported for duty, had a slice of pizza and then sliced and nailed a bunch of finishing panels. Most of the work was done during the summer, but I’ve gotten to assist, met some great community members and also got to work with one of the new home owners. It’s great to have finally done this, and it was great to learn some things about finishing work and construction.

I thought all my summer travel had voided the possibility, but I got a call today and am not committed to actually accomplish this task and help with the construction of one of the three houses they’re building in Missoula this Saturday. Woohoo, only a couple days until this one is accomplished!

Attended the volunteer orientation yesterday, this program seems a very easy place to volunteer with clear benefits for participants as well as the recipients, and I’m glad I’m following through. Habitat for Humanity will be building three houses this summer since the program has been growing, it had been building only two houses a year in the past.

It really is easy to help make the world a better place, it’s just a matter of taking action.

As a result of registering with Habitat for Humanity in Missoula, they sent me an invitation to their volunteer party. I’m not sure that’s really what I intended, but it would be “participating”. But maybe I should go just to get a better chance of knowing how I can best contribute.

... took me so long, but this was so simple to go to the Habitat for Humanity website, find the local Missoula, Montana local chapter website, and fill out the application. Took less than five minutes! On my way…
