How to Help

There are plenty of ways you can help! Here are a few:

Become a Volunteer  Volunteers are needed every day from Tuesday through Saturday, with occasional Sunday opportunities also available.  Worksite volunteers must be at least 16 years of age.  No construction experience is necessary.  To volunteer with Sleeping Giant Build contact Mike Healy (233-0141), Don Deloge (230-0169), or sign up online.

What to wear and bring

Volunteers should wear clothing and shoes appropriate for the weather and work on a construction site.  Layers of clothes are best for cold days.  Habitat will provide all of the tools necessary however, if you have a tool belt you are welcome to use it.

The workday is from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and volunteers are asked to arrive on time to facilitate work assignments.  Upon arrival volunteers will be asked to sign a consent and waiver form.

Unless you are with a group that is providing lunch you will need to provide your own.  In warm weather you should also bring water as well.  Parking at most worksites is limited and carpooling is recommended.

 

Make a Donation  Sleeping Giant Build welcomes both monetary and in-kind donations.  In-kind gifts can be in the form of skilled labor (licensed electrician, licensed plumber, sheetrock taper for example) and/or materials suitable for new construction.  Checks should be made out to:  Habitat for Humanity of Greater New Haven, with a notation that they should be applied to Sleeping Giant Build

The mailing address is:                                                                   

Habitat for Humanity of Greater New Haven

37 Union Street

ALL donations are tax deductible.
