Your CANS BUILD HOMES! You can donate your deposit-eligible cans and bottles (no glass) at Iowa City ReStore! Our volunteers sort and bag these cans so they can be dropped off for redemption, and the funds received fund affordable housing solutions. With each Iowa City ReStore truckload of cans sorted by volunteers, Iowa Valley Habitat for Humanity raises around $1,000!

We are looking for some extra ReStore volunteers who can help us sort cans! This can either be a group volunteer shift or individual volunteers!🛒💙

Our December Tool of the Month is the, in Construction Manager Chris Weckmann’s terms, Springy Nail Set. This is one of the main tools used on the IVHFH construction site to help construction volunteers nail trim work on the inside of the home. Chris explains what a Springy Nail Set is and how it is used on the construction site. Watch the video below to hear what he has to say!

Isaac Brandt began volunteering with Iowa Valley Habitat for Humanity in 2024. While he is one of our newer CORE volunteers, he has already made an impact, whether it is on the build site helping volunteers, creating his own fundraiser for our organization, or working with local businesses to donate tools. We are so grateful that he volunteers with us! Click the button to read more about Isaac and what IVHFH means to him.

We are in the homestretch at our Wai Yin Chan and Linda “Digger” Barrow Women Build in Coralville. Our construction crew and volunteers have been hard at work installing kitchen cabinetry, finishing the trimwork, and completing the final installation of interior doors. Enjoy cleaning, or still looking to help with this project? Act fast, there are only a handful of volunteer opportunities left to volunteer on this year’s Women Build project!

Our Aiden Street home build is making GREAT progress in Iowa City. A BIG thank you to everyone who has volunteered at this home. Because of you, we were able to complete all of the siding! There will be a pause on this build site until the week of January 15th.

Volunteer shifts are available every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, with morning sessions (8:00 am - 12:00 pm) and afternoon sessions (1:00 pm - 5:00 pm).
