  • Pricing our inventory
  • Stocking and selling donated items
  • Helping customers load purchased items in their vehicle
  • Appliance testing

Event Support

Volunteer with Skagit Habitat at fundraisers and other events that build homes, community, and hope in Skagit County! From charity golf tournaments to our annual Gala Fundraiser, we’re always on the lookout for volunteers to join the fun!

If you’re interested in lending a hand, contact our Volunteer Coordinator to learn more and get signed up, so you’ll never miss an opportunity to help out!

Construction Site

Our construction volunteers work alongside our future Habitat Homebuyers to help build their Habitat homes. No prior experience is needed, as we have on-site supervisors to provide hands-on training!

NOTE: If you have a particular skill such as a licensed electrician, plumber, drywall finisher, heavy equipment operator, roofer, or carpet and flooring installer, please consider lending us your expertise on the build site!

Women Build

While construction is traditionally a male-dominated field, Women Build creates an inclusive space to encourage and empower women to get involved. While we strongly encourage women to participate, everyone is welcome to join and support this important work. Women Build is not about excluding men—it’s about including women and creating opportunities to empower women in construction.

Ready to build? We’re gauging interest for a Women Build in the near future. If you are interested in participating, fill out this form!
