Construction

Our Vision: A world where everyone has a decent place to live.

Groups and individuals come together for a day of work on a construction job site, working on a home of an individual or family who will be purchasing an affordable home.  

• Individuals must be at least 16 years old.  Minors must be accompanied by an adult.  
• Groups of friends, coworkers or organizations are asked to keep their groups to a maximum of 10.
• If you have a larger group, lets talk about a special project!  Contact Amanda Gunter at 804-569-6105 x104.

Here is some basic information for each work day with us. 

• Please arrive to our construction site by 8:15 a.m., and don't be late!  At that time, we will go over basic safety and construction methods critical for the day. Construction begins at 8:30 a.m. and ends at 3:30 p.m. No one will be able to come and go during the day. 
• Please wear appropriate clothing to the work site. Baggy clothes, open toe-shoes, or  jewelry could  create safety hazards on a construction site. Keep weather in mind!  Rain will make the site muddy, so plan accordingly. 
• Please eat a good breakfast before coming out to work with us. We want you to be ready for the day! 
• Lunch is not provided, so please bring a packed lunch. There will be a 30 minute break for lunch usually around 11:30 a.m.  Please do not leave the work site during this time. 
• Water and snacks are highly recommended.
• Sunscreen and bug spray is recommended.
• Please do not use your cell phones on the site, unless there is an emergency. Volunteering on an active construction site requires everyone’s full attention!
• We provide safety and protective equipment. If you have work gloves that you like to use, and fit well, we suggest bringing them.
• We work in all-weather conditions to get our project done, so come prepared!
