We Build Community

WHAT

We build, repair, or restore houses that match the value of the community for families. It’s a hand up, not a hand out.

WHY

We believe everyone deserves a nice place to live. We hope to eradicate housing projects but instead have single family homes built by volunteers and families together.

HOW

All volunteers are welcome to help build or restore homes for community members or work at the ReStore to help fund Athens Habitat for Humanity.
