Greater Fredericksburg Habitat for Humanity believes everyone deserves a safe, decent, affordable place to live.

They operate in the City of Fredericksburg and the counties of Stafford, Spotsylvania, and King George.

Many families are in need of their services, so they try to keep their building costs low by utilizing contributions, donated materials, and volunteer labor. Donations come from individuals, churches, local businesses, and corporations. Volunteers are key to their operations. Volunteers come from every walk of life, and everything we do is made possible by their support!

How can you donate tools or materials?

Drop them off at the ReStore!  Tools and materials needed for a build project are pulled by our construction team.

What is the ReStore?

The ReStore is a retail shop that sells building materials, appliances, furniture, and other home goods. Open six days a week, it’s a great resource for affordable pieces for your home. It’s also a tremendous community resource; the ReStore provides materials when a local nonprofit or house of worship needs assistance with a repair or renovation.

What is the procedure to become a volunteer?

All volunteers must attend undergo an informal background check, attend an orientation session, sign the volunteer waiver, and watch a safety video and take a safety quiz that relates to their area of volunteering. (For example, a Build Site volunteer will watch the Build Site safety video.) During this time of covid-19, our orientation process is completed entirely online. The process begins with signing up for Galaxy. If you have any questions or need help, please don't hesitate to reach out to our Volunteer Coordinator.

How old do I have to be to volunteer? Is there any paperwork?

All volunteers must be 16 years of age or more. Volunteers 16 and 17 years old must provide a waiver signed by their parent or guardian. All volunteers need to fill out a liability waiver at least once per year. This is a requirement for all volunteers, even if you aren’t on the Build Site. At this time, the process of collecting the waivers is completed electronically, through our Galaxy system.
