Habitat for Humanity of Montezuma County is beginning 2015 with new and increased activities.
This means more volunteers are needed to help work toward eliminating poverty housing in the county.
Immediate volunteer opportunities at the Habitat Sales Center just beyond Road G on U.S. Highway 160/491 include handling customer sales, sorting and pricing donations, cleaning and preparing items for sale and helping pick up donations around Montezuma County.
The sales center is open 10 am to 4 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday during the winter. Six-hour shifts are preferred, but four-hour shifts are also very helpful.
Volunteers are also needed on Tuesdays every week when the store is not open but merchandise is being readied for the sales floor and the center is cleaned.
Income from the sales center goes directly toward rehabilitating or building houses in Montezuma County.
Beginning sometime in March, volunteers will also be needed to help accomplish interior and exterior finishing work on a new house in Cortez. Hands-on experience is helpful, but training is available for willing volunteers. The completed house will become the new home of a qualifying partner family.
Call Habitat executive director Barbara Stagg at 565-8312 or email office@habitatmontezuma.org to discuss all volunteer opportunities.
