No prior construction experience necessary! Fort Hood Area Habitat welcomes volunteers of all skills levels.
Site supervisors and trained assistants will be on all build sites to provide task & safety instructions.
FHA Habitat makes every attempt to remain on schedule and avoid adjusting build schedules. However, it is possible that a group's originally scheduled shift location and/or task will change. Such changes will be communicated to the group leader immediately. Thank you in advance for your understanding & cooperation!
Due to the high volume of group requests, FHA Habitat reserves the right to limit the number of build dates a group can reserve.
