Build A House
When your group partners with NAHFH to create decent, affordable shelter for Nashville families, you're doing more than building a house. You're investing in lasting change.
Building a Habitat home focuses your organization's internal energy around a common goal… helping hard-working families achieve their hopes and dreams for a better life. The houses you build together create new neighborhoods and communities that are changing the face of Nashville forever. Take a minute to find out what HCA, Louisiana-Pacific and Westminster Presbyterian Church already know: partnering with NAHFH is a great way to make visible, lasting change in Nashville and a great volunteering opportunity as well.

How to Volunteer »
Be A Leader - SOS
Become a Supervisor on Site (S.O.S.) Learn more about building a house and instruct other volunteers at the build site. You'll meet lots of amazing people and develop new skills. We are looking for dedicated and patient individuals who like to help others learn. Individuals are asked to volunteer at least four days during each build.
Build Site Support
Provide assistance at the build site with logistics, parking, volunteer check-in, tool organization, and more. This is an excellent way to get involved at the build site, without making a full day commitment. Individuals are asked to volunteer at least four mornings or afternoons during a build.
