Gary Z.
Why volunteer with Habitat? There are many volunteer opportunities is most communities and most offer meaningful contributions to our community. I chose Habitat because it helps people who can use help moving ahead to gain solid footing with a home while gaining equity, pride, and hopefully stability and security not just for today, but for years to come.
What do I enjoy about volunteering at Habitat? Coming from a farm as a boy but working in an office atmosphere all my career, I have missed at times working with my hands. Habitat affords that opportunity along with knowing we are recycling useful household products, furniture, tools and other furnishings while saving tons of materials going to landfills. Volunteering at Habitat rewards me with a feeling reward of service, warmth and camaraderie.
What does a home mean to me? Home is a place of reward, pride, security, a safe base for family for years to come and a place a person can change to their liking. Though it is nice to go on trips, see distant relatives and the like, it’s always good to get “home” again.
