President Jimmy Carter and his wife Rosalynn first volunteered with Habitat for Humanity in 1984. Not only did they help Habitat expand to every state of the US and 70 total countries, they themselves have helped to build, renovate, and repair 3,944 Habitat homes in 14 different countries.
Habitat relies heavily on volunteers not only for building the actual house, but also for food, drink, and supply donations. This donation will pay for the participation fee of one volunteer!
