Douglas County Habitat for Humanity has been building houses in Douglas County for hardworking, lower-income families since 1991.  Last fall, Douglas County Habitat for Humanity merged with Cobb County Habitat for Humanity to form Habitat for Humanity of Northwest Metro Atlanta.  This new entity will serve Cobb, Douglas and Paulding Counties.

The Habitat for Humanity team started putting up siding and completed a rear deck and inside insulation last weekend at its current project located at 6899 Upshaw Mill Road in Douglasville.

Volunteer opportunities are available at the Upshaw Mill home for the next several weeks:

August 9th - 3 volunteers are needed
August 16 - 15 openings
August 23 - 4 openings
September 13 - 4 openings

Volunteers of all skill levels are welcome. Workers should be 18 years old or older (unless prior arrangements have been made).

Work starts promptly at 8:00 am and continues until mid afternoon. Lunch will be provided by Chick-fil-A on Fairburn Road.

Please plan to arrive by 7:45 am. You can park your car at Keith Park on Thompson Street and walk about a block to the building site. Please wear comfortable work clothes, work boots or heavy shoes (no open toed shoes please) and bring along some work gloves, hammer, and tool belt (if you have them) and a hat and suncreen.
