Although this project has concluded, if you would still like to make a donation to support Habitat for Humanity at Pitt, you may always do so here
Every dollar counts! Each dollar adds up for transportation on the trip. Transportation is vital to ensure volunteers make it to and from the work site. This donation will aid in funding transportation for Habitat for Humanity members.
Gloves are an important part of personal protective equipment. Gloves ensure that every member is safe while carrying lumber and various other materials.
Nails are vital for the structural integrity of the house. They attach pieces of lumber to form walls and hold the trusses together to make the roof. Every nail is important and without nails, the house would fall apart.
Tools such as hammers, tape measures, pencils, pry bars, chalk lines, and knives are essential for building a Habitat Home. Tool belts help to keep all of these tools together with each of the builders so they can make progress on the construction without having to stop and locate a tool.
The circular saw is an important tool on the build site. Particle board and lumber needs to be cut to the correct size so all the components of the house fit together correctly without any gaps or overhangs.
The safety of builders is one of the most important factors on the build site. Safety equipment such as goggles, gloves, and hard hats are imperative in keeping the volunteers safe.
Habitat relies heavily on volunteers for not only building the actual house, but also for food and drink donations, and supply donations. This donation will pay for the participation fee of one volunteer.
Lumber is the skeleton that holds the house together. Without a sturdy frame, the walls and roof would collapse upon their own weight. Lumber is essential for maintaining structural integrity of the house. A donation at this level will help pay for a volunteer's housing during the trip.
