Volunteer

 

To Volunteer on the Governor’s Joplin Challenge (beginning summer/fall 2012) go to:

http://joplinchallenge.mo.gov/volunteer/

The Challenge is a partnership between Missouri sports teams and Joplin Area Habitat for Humanity to build 35 homes for Joplin families in need. This partnership will provide the opportunity for 35 families to purchase, own, and work for a brand new, safe, affordable, energy star efficient home to call their own. Families pay back the 0% interest loan over 20 years and work a number of “sweat equity” hours towards their home.The 35 homes will be divided into seven different neighborhoods, with each neighborhood assigned a sponsor from among the seven Missouri athletic organizations.

Joplin Area Habitat for Humanity is a volunteer organization. We are always in need of individuals and groups who are dedicated to helping families in need purchase an affordable, safe, efficient home. If you would like to volunteer or would like additional information, please submit an inquiry and someone will contact you as soon as possible.
