Lunch Providers
Lunch providers do just that, provide a tasty and healthy lunch for a crew of 6-8 volunteers. Typically lunch happens between noon and 12:30 pm, Most lunch providers drop off lunch contributions at around 11:45 at the job site but other arrangements are sometimes possible. Please contact us at 802 295 1854 or by email at info@uvhabitat.org if you are interested in learning more about being a lunch provider.

We accept all abilities, whether a skilled tradesman or a novice!
Volunteers are the backbone of any Habitat project. They build the houses, feed the construction crew, raise vital funds, strengthen the community, and make the dream of home ownership a reality. Over the course of our Sharon, VT house build, 188 volunteers contributed just over 4,300 hours! Thank you for your participation!
