Adam’s Blog for Scheduled Volunteers
To facilitate communication with scheduled volunteers concerning weather cancellations, work location, etc., Adam, our construction manager, maintains a blog at http://habitatgnhvols.blogspot.com/. Please note: the blog is not a scheduling tool. It is a way for Adam to communicate with volunteers already scheduled.
(Please do not report to a site if you have not been scheduled! For safety reasons we limit the number of people on site–12 volunteers per house per day. To schedule, please contact your sponsor group’s volunteer coordinator. Volunteers new to Habitat and not affiliated with one of our sponsor groups must complete an application. Contact Ellen McNally, Habitat’s Volunteer Coordinator, at (203) 785-0794 or emcnally@habitatgnh.org for more information or visit the Volunteer section of the website.)
