Proud partner of Nashville Area Habitat for Humanity.
Nashville Area Habitat for Humanity is an ecumenical Christian ministry that provides people with the life-changing opportunity to purchase and own quality, affordable homes. We are an equal opportunity/drug-free employer. For information on Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity go to www.hud.gov/offices/fheo or contact the local HUD office.
On Sunday, October 11, 37 family members celebrated the completion of 12 Nashville Area Habitat homes, thanks to many generous sponsors and approximately 3,000 volunteers who helped build them. Nearly 40 churches and faith organizations participated in this build along with the Habitat HomeStores, local businesses, corporations, schools and universities. Nashville Area Habitat staff, board members, partner families and volunteers gathered for an opening program and then broke into groups for ribbon cutting ceremonies for each home. At that time, families received keys and framed copies of their mortgage agreements.
(No experience is required, but a rewarding experience is guaranteed!)
Two homes are being sponsored by our HomeStores, and we need volunteers to build them. Our greatest need is on the following Saturdays and Sundays, 6:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.:
Volunteer opportunities are also available for March 27–28, April 10–11 and April 17–18.
