Habitat for Humanity Susquehanna Committees
Where do you fit in?
Not everyone is interested in pounding a nail. Every person has different ideas, abilities, skills and interests, all of which are the building blocks of Habitat for Humanity Susquehanna. There are numerous small tasks that enable each committee to focus on its particular objective. See the list to the left of the different committees, and then please go to the tab marked “Volunteer” and register with us. Contact our Volunteer and Community Engagement Coordinator, Jessie Ingold, at 410-638-4434 x3, or email jingold@habitatsusq.org with any questions.
