Building Together

We build many Habitat homes each year with your help—and that help often comes in the form of materials, services, or real estate. Individuals and businesses can donate materials and/or services to any degree. Any gift keeps construction costs low and homeowners’ mortgages affordable.

Habitat for Humanity of Kent County is a registered 501(c)3 organization and therefore your gift is tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law. Our EIN is 38-2527968.

Materials

We accept donations of many types of building materials, supplies, and tools to help build homes for families and individuals in Kent County. Items that cannot be used in one of our homes may be donated to the Habitat Kent ReStores. Revenue from donated items sold at the ReStore help us build more homes each year!

To make a donation of materials or if you have questions, please contact Tom at (616) 588-5253 or tpoll@habitatkent.org

Services

While community volunteers help with much of the construction work on Habitat Kent homes, there are some services needed for each home that require skilled professionals. Some of these include HVAC work, plumbing, roofing, and more.

To donate skilled services or if you have questions, please contact Tom at (616) 588-5253 or tpoll@habitatkent.org

Real Estate

Donating a home or land parcel helps us with the first step in the building process! By making a gift of real estate, the donation provides you with tax-benefits while making a personal impact for local families. Gifts of real estate include undeveloped land and residential and commercial property.

To donate real estate or if you have questions, please contact Melody at (616)774.2431 or mgeerlings@habitatkent.org.

Group Interest Survey

  • Habitat for Humanity of Kent County provides a variety of volunteer opportunities which can vary depending on the group size, age restrictions, season and general availability. Construction opportunities are full day commitments. Should you prefer a partial day activity or volunteers to work in shifts you will be scheduled for specific tasks or in one of our 3 ReStore locations.
  • Age restrictions apply to certain projects and will be enforced. Most tasks require volunteers to be at least 16 years old. Specific jobs may allow other ages. These restrictions will be indicated by a member of the volunteer services department when a date is offered.
  • Please acknowledge that you understand groups may not be confirmed until 30-60 DAYS PRIOR TO THE DATE AGREED UPON by our volunteer services department. Due to the volume of requests for volunteer opportunities, we will ask that you agree/disagree to the date we offer within a week’s time (unless otherwise noted in our email). This ensures we can look for an alternative date if necessary and place you within a timely fashion.
  • After the completed form is submitted expect to be contacted by a member of our volunteer services department within one week.
