Volunteer
Volunteer with Habitat for Humanity of the Greater La Crosse Region, and you will play a vital role in our mission to create a community where all feel they belong. We offer volunteer opportunities on the construction site, at the ReStore, on ReClaim or RePair crews, and at the office.
Along the way, you’ll meet new friends and get connected to the community. You will see tangible results and work alongside our partner families. It’s a rewarding and fun opportunity to make a real difference.

Volunteer Opportunities
Construction
Want to swing a hammer to help build a home for a family in need? Sign up for one of our construction volunteer roles. You don't need any construction experience - we'll teach you everything you need to know and provide you with all the tools to get the job done safely.
Build site volunteer hours are Wednesday - Saturday 8:00am to 3:00pm.
ReStore
Help out at the La Crosse Region’s go-to discount home improvement store. Volunteers work as cashiers, receiving assistants, merchandisers, material recyclers, and donation pick-up drivers.
ReStore volunteer hours are Wednesday - Saturday 10:00am to 6:00pm.
ReClaim
Our hands-on ReClaim crews safely remove materials like kitchen cabinets, appliances, doors, windows, and flooring from homes and buildings. The goal is to reduce waste, save quality materials from the landfill, and bring them back to the ReStore for resale and reuse. ReClaim projects are always interesting and never in the same place for very long. If you like salvage, reuse, historic materials, and taking things apart, this is the role for you!
ReClaim hours are Wednesday - Saturday 8:00am to 3:00pm.
RePair
RePair volunteers play an important role in improving the safety and accessibility of local homes. You’ll assist with a wide range of home improvement projects, like installing handicap accessible ramps and railings.
RePair hours are Wednesday - Saturday 8:00am to 3:00pm.
Sustainability
Get outside! Join us at the ReStore to help with lawncare, gardening, and harvesting our fruits and vegetables. Our ReStore property features a beautiful native landscape, and we need your help to keep it in good shape.
Volunteer opportunities available April – October.
Office
Do you have a skill that would help us stay organized and promote Habitat’s mission? Volunteering at our office (located at the ReStore) is a great way to be involved in our efforts and participate in events, committees, fundraising, and advocacy work.
The office is staffed Tuesday – Friday 9:00 am to 4:00 pm.
Special Events
We host many events each year and we are always happy to have volunteers help us to coordinate, plan, and execute the events.

Stories
“I think it is a great idea and a great thing for a family to learn about what goes into building a home. By doing this, it'll give the family a true sense of pride and attachment to the home that we help build together.”
