Help Habitat For Humanity

Sign In starts at 7:45 AM. Volunteers must sign-in each day they volunteer, and complete a waiver of liability each year (volunteers under age 18 need a guardian’s signature). Volunteers will be introduced to their house leader, who will provide direction for the day.

Safety Briefing begins at 8:00 AM. Safety is more important than the speed of production, and construction work can be hazardous! Since HFHSA crews normally have a high percentage of inexperienced workers, safety is of particular concern. Your house leader will brief you on safety issues that might arise. No one under the age of 14 is allowed on site.

Lunch will be provided for all volunteers on Saturdays and for scheduled groups on Fridays. Lunches are donated -- individuals with special dietary needs should bring their own lunches.

Clean up is at 3:30 PM (sometimes earlier in the summer). Please plan to stay the whole day. The workday will end after the site is clean and tools have been put away.

Please wear comfortable clothes appropriate for the work and weather. Wear items that can get stained, ripped, muddy, paint-spackled, etc. You must wear closed-toed shoes - do not wear sandals. For safety, do not wear loose, oversized clothing or dangling jewelry. Summer months can be extremely hot and it can get very cold on site in the winter. Dress appropriately.

Media in San Antonio are always welcome to cover HFHSA events. If you see media on the site by themselves – instantly alert a Habitat staff member.

Personal will not be safe on the work site. We accept no responsibility for lost or stolen

Valuables items. We highly recommend that you do not bring items that you consider valuable to our work sites. We will provide all the tools and materials you will need to participate.

Security must be maintained on the work site. Concealed weapons, drugs, or alcoholic beverages of any kind are absolutely not permitted on an HFHSA work site. Violators will be asked to leave.

Animals/Pets are not allowed on the work site. HFHSA discourages volunteers from feeding stray animals or pets.
