Habitat for Humanity Volunteers Help Build Community

Whether it's building homes or donating wish list items, Habitat for Humanity of Pinellas County has a number of opportunities for volunteers.

Do you want to give back to your community, but aren't sure where or how to start?

To make it easy for you to connect with organizations in need, Patch is running a special end-of-year series, The 12 Days of Volunteering. Through Jan. 1, we will bring you one volunteer opportunity a day from a local nonprofit group.
