Thank you to all the volunteers at Habitat for Humanity your willingness to give your time and service is greatly appreciated!

Volunteers are the driving force behind Idaho Falls Area Habitat for Humanity. We are grateful to those dedicated people who contribute a day, a week, a few months, and, in some cases, years to give Habitat’s vision a tangible form.

Whatever your talents, we have a place for you to serve. From swinging a hammer on a build site, to greeting neighbors at the ReStore, to organizing events, fundraising, or office support, to shaping our mission through board and committee leadership, your contribution brings us closer to our vision.
