COMING THIS SUMMER!
An opportunity to work with Habitat for Humanity to help a low-income family build their dream of home ownership.
St. Thomas More is working with other area faith communities and participating in the Iowa Valley Habitat for Humanity Interfaith Build Project.
Put the planned St. Thomas More work day of Saturday, May 21 on your calendar. (The date is contingent on weather.)
What you need to know:
- ALL who are 14 or older are welcome.
- Work site address is 829 South 7th Avenue in Iowa City.
- Days are divided into 4 hour morning and afternoon shifts. You can choose to work either a half or whole day.
- Volunteers ages 14 & 15 are limited to non-construction tasks. Parental supervision is required on construction sites.
- Everyone ages 17 and under must provide a waiver signed by their parent or guardian.
- Everyone must fill out an annual safety waiver. You must be there at the start of your shift to review safety instructions and daily tasks.
- Everything you need will be at your volunteer location, but you are welcome to bring your own tools &/or materials.
- Wear comfortable clothing and closed toed shoes.
- No prior knowledge or skills in construction is necessary.
- You can also participate by providing lunch or snacks for the work crew or giving a monetary donation.
We are anticipating having an additional work day for this project later in the summer.
