Recruit a Team Build

A Team Build is usually 10 volunteers coming together to raise $100 each and asking their employer  to match funds raised.  It can also be an  organization donating $1,000 or more and contributing a day of volunteer labor to a Habitat build.  This is a wonderful way to build team spirit between co-workers, club members or groups while serving your local community.

Contact your place of worship about being an Apostles Build

An Apostle Build is 12 churches/institutions of faith joining together to fully fund and build ONE house for ONE family.  Just as the 12 apostles were charged with spreading the word about Jesus, our 12 apostles are charged with assisting with Habitat's mission to provide decent shelter.

How does an Apostles Build Work?

• 12 churches each contribute about $9,000.  This sum covers the cost of building the home.
• 12 churches contribute 6 days of volunteer labor.  This provides the basis of our construction efforts.  In addition, Habitat for Humanity for San Luis Obispo County will host "ecumenical" workdays when members of your church will have an opportunity to work side by side with volunteers from other churches.
• 12 churches contribute lunch for 6 workdays.  That way our volunteers are always well fed.
• If your church is small, you can partner with other churches to form one apostle.

What exactly is required?

Habitat for Humanity for San Luis Obispo County will manage the funds and provide:

• The property
• The family
• Building designs and plans
• Permits
• Site supervision and instruction
• Building materials and supplies
• Insurance
• Organizational expertise

So all that is required from your church is funding and labor.  We can help you with ideas for fundraising campaigns and how to get your congregation involved.  This is an opportunity for your church to get involved in a multi-generational project.  Also, there may be people in your congregation with special skills and specific resources who want to be more involved.  This is an extra blessing!
