Is lunch included in the volunteer activity?

If I am unable to attend the day of my opportunity, what happens?
If you are unable to attend your volunteer shift for whatever reason, please contact the volunteer services coordinator as soon as possibly at volunteers@habitatnwma.org. Failure to communicate will result in a “no-show”. Three no-shows will result in you being removed from the volunteer mailing list.

All opportunities that are password protected have been reserved by our build sponsors who are utilizing their own volunteers. If there is a need for more volunteers, a public sign-up will be created and titled “open registration”.
