Please register to volunteer with Habitat for Humanity for SOTHEBY'S INTERNATIONAL REALTY BUILD DAYS.
SOTHEBY'S WOMEN'S BUILD DAY is scheduled for TUESDAY, APRIL 30, 2024 for just the ladies.
Everyone can join for SOTHEBY'S BUILD DAY on THURSDAY, MAY 16, 2024.

Both events are from 8:30am to 3:30pm at Wapiti Commons Build Site, 707 Wapiti Ct., Rifle, CO 81650.

SIGN-UP: https://app.giveffect.com/campaigns/31919-sotheby-s-international-realty-build-days

In the website please click on VOLUNTEER, create an account or log-in if you have one, just check the date and you are signed up. Or just sign-up with your Sotheby's coordinator.

The morning of the volunteer day, please go to the Wapiti Commons Build Site located behind Taco Bell in South Rifle. Please meet at the picnic tables in front of the construction site. We will check you in and get you set up for a rewarding day of volunteering.

You do not need any experience to volunteer with Habitat for Humanity, we will teach you what you need to know.
You may be working inside or outside so please wear sturdy shoes, dress in layers, and bring a water bottle.

We usually break for lunch around 11:30, lunch will be provided.

One of the keystones of Habitat for Humanity's mission of helping families have a place to call home is the act of building together. Some of our Wapiti Commons homebuyers may be volunteering that day so you have the opportunity to work alongside them and dedicate your time to their required "sweat equity contribution". They will appreciate your support, and we always value your time and effort to build together with Habitat for Humanity Roaring Fork Valley.

In addition to volunteering during this Build Day, you can sign up individually to work at Wapiti Commons or at our ReStore in Glenwood. Please contact the volunteer coordinator Carolyn Meadowcroft at 970-379-4880, or email volunteer@habitatroaringfork.org for more information.

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.
