    "A Brush with Kindness" Home Repair Program

    Habitat's home repair program - A Brush with Kindness - helps people in need with small home repairs on their home, because we believe that everyone deserves a decent place to live.

    Volunteers will need basic handyman skills, but they can choose to work only on jobs with which they're comfortable.

    Work Examples: Leaky water heater, lighting installation, small plumbing repairs, small electrical repairs, ramps for accessibility, siding repair, wall repairs, running toilets, clogged gutters, handicap grab bars, door and window screen repair, etc.

    What we don’t do: Replace entire roofs, foundation work, overhaul of entire house, cosmetic work, etc.
