Thanks to the Volunteer

Volunteers from all walks of life give their time and effort not only during crises, but every day of the year. Builders, architects, engineers, designers, students, community planners—all freely give their expertise to solve problems, assess situations, construct emergency shelters and temporary housing, build low-income homes, and design medical clinics and schools—whatever is needed in a community. We can't thank you enough for simply being there.
