Each year, West Tuality Habitat for Humanity hosts a free holiday concert at the Forest Grove United Church of Christ. It happens in the early evening and ends before the city's annual holiday light parade. It is a tradition for many to come to our concert first and then walk out to enjoy the light parade.
We need volunteers to help greet people as they arrive at the concert, help them find seats (in 2023, by the time the concert started, it was standing room only!), and help prepare and serve the light snacks we provide in the fellowship hall at the church after the short concert. Volunteers will also direct people to the information table if they have questions about Habitat for Humanity, so our trained staff can answer such. We would also love a volunteer that could take photos of the event.
These volunteering activities require walking up some stairs, standing and some bending. Volunteer go through a brief onsite safety training and must follow the Habitat for Humanity Code of Conduct, which is available on our web site and on the waiver that all volunteers must sign before volunteering. During service, volunteers are representatives of Habitat for Humanity and our mission. Please note that we cannot provide childcare and volunteers must be at least 16 years old. Other restrictions may apply. There is no smoking, drugs, or alcohol allowed on our worksites.
The vision of West Tuality Habitat for Humanity is a community where everyone has a safe, decent, and affordable place to live. We believe affordable housing plays a critical role in strong and stable communities and is a foundation for breaking the cycle of poverty. Our work is focused on Western Washington County, Oregon (Forest Grove, Cornelius, Gaston, North Plains, Gales Creek, Banks, Timber, Buxton and the surrounding areas).
We are happy to sign off on any paperwork if you undertake this role for a class or if you want to do this for assigned community service. We can also sign off on paperwork for the President's Service Award.
If you are representing a group that is interested in this volunteering activity, please note this in your application, and provide us with as much detail as possible (how many, what organization you represent, etc.).
We also strongly encourage you to follow West Tuality Habitat for Humanity on Facebook and Instagram and YouTube.
