Legacy Health Volunteers
Willamette West Habitat for Humanity
The vast majority of Habitat's work is done by volunteers, either on construction sites or in other areas. We welcome people from all walks of life to help us build homes for families in need. You don't need construction experience to volunteer with Habitat, just a willingness to learn. If you don't know how to do a task, we will train you. Many Opportunities Beyond Construction Volunteers contribute more than muscle. Creativity, strategy, and technical skills are among the many invaluable traits volunteers bring to the organization. With a minimal staff, Willamette West Habitat for Humanity depends upon volunteer committees for support with projects like Homeowner Selection, Homeowner Partnering, Public Outreach, and Volunteer Coordination. We also offer opportunities in our Habitat ReStore, a volunteer-run building materials recycling center. You Choose the Time Commitment As a volunteer for Willamette West Habitat for Humanity, you can choose to volunteer as little or as often as you would like, from several days a week to once a year.
