Volunteer Highlights & Celebrations
Hundreds of volunteers lend their time and talents each year to make the engine of Habitat for Humanity of Greater Plymouth run. They learn new skills and build at our construction sites, they keep our ReStore in great shape and generate sales to support the mission, and they work behind the scenes in our office and on committees to ensure all details are covered. No matter what form their volunteerism takes, we are deeply grateful for each and every person who has helped along the way.
Check out some highlights celebrating our generous & amazing volunteers!
