However, you can make a significant contribution to the Habitat mission as an individual donor. Your financial support will help Habitat for Humanity Saskatoon provide simple, decent homes for families in need. General Construction - Even if you have never held a hammer, now is the time to learn. Be part of the satisfaction of seeing a home grow before your eyes and know that you were a part of its completion. Construction Specialties - Habitat Saskatoon is always looking for persons with trade skills. Consider becoming a crew leader or trainer help us by showing other volunteers how to do jobs like wiring, plumbing , drywall finishing, finish trims. Auxiliary Services - Registration, phoning, food services, courier, first aid, training, crew leaders; all necessary to a successful build.

Adopt-a-Day ProgramDo you have a group that would like to join together to participate on a build? Think about your family and friends, your department from work or associates from a professional association or non-profit group. Adopt-a-Day allows your group (no prior construction experience required, minimum 16 years of age) to spend a day together building a home for a family in need. It is an incredible team-building experience that is sure to make your team members feel a sense of pride for your build accomplishments and for helping in your community.
