Volunteer Stories

I’ve always been struck by the whole concept of Habitat for Humanity…very seldom do you get to leave something behind that has such meaning.

~Tom Brokaw, former anchor, NBC News

I wanted to visit a Latin American country, not as a tourist, but in a manner which allowed me to live with the people and give some help. I decided to work with Habitat for Humanity because its project goes beyond talking about the problems. It allows you to work with your own hands and give a home to somebody. That makes me feel very good.

~Julia Stiles, actress

To someone who’s never had a home of their own before, a key is precious metal. It opens more than just a door; it opens up a whole new way of life. That’s why Habitat for Humanity is so close to my heart. …Everyone deserves a decent, affordable home, and together we can make that happen.

~Reba McEntire, singer

Our partnership with Habitat makes so much sense because it is built on our shared faith…Habitat is a Christian ministry dedicated to improving the lives of people everywhere.

~Bishop T.D. Jakes, founder and senior pastor, The Potter’s House nondenominational church of Dallas, Texas
