Join us in Belle Haven, Menlo Park to help maintain the land where we plan to build 8 future Habitat for Humanity homes. These homes will be a much-needed addition to the affordable housing stock in a county where the average home price is over $1.5 million.
It's not a long shift but you can expect a good workout!

Scope of Work: Last October, we've cut down tall brush and pruned trees. As we wait for permit approvals and continue to build our capital stack, we need to be good neighbors and maintain the property. Right now, the weeds are 4 feet tall and we need help to cut it all down :-) Some power equipment will be used.
Prepare: To be ready for strenuous physical labor, please get a good night’s sleep and a full breakfast before your build day. Snacks and water will be available. Also, review the Top 10 Safety Tips before coming to the site. Remember to wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes (work boots are ideal), long pants, and a long sleeves shirt that you don’t mind getting dirty/ruined. If you have your own mask, leather work gloves, and safety goggles, please bring them. Although we have limited PPE available, bringing your own helps us reduce costs. Prepare to be outside in any weather with layers and sun protection. Leave valuables at home, and please watch this safety video to learn about your volunteer day and ways you can stay safe at the construction site.
