Volunteers Needed for Habitat Build in Shakopee!

Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity will be building homes in the Shakopee community and the Shakopee Chamber of Commerce will be holding a Habitat for Humanity Volunteer Week to allow those in the Shakopee and surrounding areas the opportunity to make a difference!

For this volunteer week we will need a total of 75 volunteers over a 5-day period (August 27-31, 2012) with at least 15 volunteers for each day. Individuals and groups can volunteer for 1, 2, or more days from 8:30am-4:00pm each volunteer day. The build site is located at 1664 Philipp Way in Shakopee, MN 55379.

Volunteer Impact

You can help Twin Cities Habitat build a new home by volunteering on the construction site. Your experience might include the opportunity to learn about the need for affordable housing in the Twin Cities. Spend a day on the construction site and you may work on the following:

• Framework
• Cabinets
• Insulation work
• Sheet rock
• Windows and doors
• Siding
• Flooring and trim
• Interior and exterior painting

Note: The construction schedule changes from day to day depending on the phase of work the home is in.
