Please help us thank Youth Build Cohort #10, for their incredible work over the last 8 weeks of construction training! When they started, 226 Saxton was just a hole in the ground and now the second story subfloors are all installed!

It's Spring and we are getting ready for a lot more construction volunteers VERY SOON! In these photos, some of our regular volunteers built window and door frames to help with the upcoming Framing Frenzy at Rochester Institute of Technology!

Others looking to volunteer can browse upcoming shifts at give.rochesterhabitat.org/volunteer_calendar. We currently have a lot of need for volunteers at our two ReStore locations and more construction volunteering will be available starting in April.

Starting the second story at 226 Saxton Street! Thank you YouthBuild!

As painting finishes up on the Holworthy Street and Smith Street new builds; flooring is next — and if you do it in that order, you don't have to worry about paint drips!

Big thanks to students from RIT and Edison Tech for great volunteer groups this week!

On Martin Luther King Jr Day, our AmeriCorps members had "a day on, not a day off" by teaching ideals of service to a group of young volunteers.

Our volunteer opportunities are usually limited to 16 years old and up, but with the construction sites closed for the day we were able to set up some cleaning and organizing activities that were safe for this group to learn more about Habitat and community service! (There was a little time to play in the snow too!)

Thank you Greg and Maggie, our two #AmeriCorps members, for making this great experience possible and for your service each day that you are with us!
