Volunteer with Us
Thank you for your interest in volunteering with Habitat for Humanity Corpus Christi. HFHCC volunteers are the heart of our organization.
Hundreds of volunteers assist in various activities each year. Our volunteers build homes, raise funds, provide lunches for volunteers on the work site, work at our ReStore, the office and much more. As a matter of fact, volunteers are a key reason HFHCC is able to build affordable, decent homes for qualified low income families. You can Volunteer as an individual or as a Group.
For more information, contact (361) 289-1740 or e-mail info@habitatcorpus.org. We have opportunities in construction and the ReStore!

Keep track of all of your belongings, as HFHCC assumes no responsibility for lost, damaged or stolen items. Other suggested items are plastic drinking cups, work boots, gloves, wide brimmed hat/visor, sunglasses, and sun block. We also have very specific Age Regulations for the Work site.
