A Build Day is a team-building day of service at a Habitat for Humanity Mississippi Capital Area construction site. They are an excellent way for corporate, school, faith based and/or non-profit groups to work together to provide direct service to a family in need of affordable housing.
Please arrive 15 minutes before your shift begins in order to sign in and hear a brief safety meeting. The group will then break into smaller crews to work on the various building tasks. Activities may include hanging drywall, painting, stacking lumber, framing, sanding, cleaning and more!
-
Anyone over the age of 18 can participate in a Build Day. 16 & 17 year olds must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. No construction experience is needed, as our team will teach you everything you need to know!
