Habitat for Humanity Manatee County

Are you looking for a way to make a meaningful impact on your community? Well, look no further! We are excited to invite you to be part of our incredible mission, where we are dedicated to putting ten families into safe, stable housing every year. Since May, we’ve made great progress at Poling Gardens, with three houses now under a roof and two more foundations poured, but we need your help to stay on track.

We have several critical areas where we’re seeking volunteers and crew leaders who are passionate about making a difference in the lives of local families.
