Habitat for Humanity Roaring Fork Valley has opportunities for you to volunteer with us on Wednesday, April 6th and Thursday April 7th on our construction site at Basalt Vista, located behind the Basalt High School. Each day there are 8 slots available at Basalt Vista. We work from 9:30 am until 3:00 pm with a break for lunch around noon.
You do not need construction experience to work at Basalt Vista as our team will show you what you need to do. You may be working inside or outside depending on the task so please wear sturdy shoes, dress in layers, and bring a water bottle.
Be prepared to bring a lunch, but Habitat may be able to provide one so we will let your representative know.
Habitat follows Covid-19 protocol so we ask that you follow whatever mandates are enforced at that time.
If you have any questions feel free to contact your representative or Habitat's volunteer coordinator Carolyn Meadowcroft at 970-379-4880 or email at carolynm@habitatroaringfork.org.

In Support of Habitat for Humanity of the Roaring Fork Valley
Habitat for Humanity of the Roaring Fork Valley partners with local families who otherwise would not be able to afford a home of their own, through conventional means. We build homes in partnership with local families in need of a hand-up, not a hand-out. The wide gap between our high resort area cost of living (especially for housing) and the actual rural community wages makes it difficult to retain teachers, and essential personnel within our area- all who hold jobs that are key to the well being of our children and community, but cannot afford to live close to where they work.
Our local Habitat has been building homes with lower income families for almost 20 years, but we have become increasingly aware of the acute need for housing for the middle income workers who provide vital services to our community. This is what brought about an extraordinary collaboration with the Roaring Fork School District, Pitkin County, and the Town of Basalt to build the Basalt Vista Housing Partnership- located behind Basalt High School- which provided 27 affordable homes. Our current development is Wapiti Commons located in South Rifle. We have started construction on 20 affordable homes consisting of ten 3-bedroom townhomes and two 3-bedroom condos for families, and eight 1-bedroom condos for older adults or small families. Our next development will be homes in Glenwood Springs so please watch for details on our website.
Habitat for Humanity is a movement of people who build more than houses. By bringing homeowners together with volunteers, donors, community leaders, foundations, and other supporters we are building stable families, safe neighborhoods, and caring communities.
