Every Hand Counts
Volunteers are essential to Goodhue County Habitat for Humanity’s mission. Every wall raised, every meal shared, and every hour given helps move a family closer to a safe, stable place to call home. When you volunteer, you’re helping build hope, dignity, and community right here in Goodhue County.
There are many ways to get involved. Some volunteers work hands-on at build sites or home revitalization projects. Others support our work through office help, events, hospitality, photography, meals, leadership, or outreach. Whether you’re swinging a hammer, organizing behind the scenes, or volunteering with a group, your time and talents make a real difference.
No experience is required—just a willingness to help and a desire to support our mission. We’ll provide the guidance you need and help you find a role that fits your skills, interests, and schedule.
Join us and be part of something meaningful.
