Flexible Schedule | Lafayette, LA 70501

The vision of Lafayette 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. We are always looking for volunteers who would like to use their skills during the building process. Volunteers help with framing, blocking, decking (roof), siding, window trim, installing cabinets, flooring, and more. We would love to talk to you more about these opportunities and how you can help! Please feel free to reach out to volunteer@habitatlafayette.org or call 337.456.4671.

Flexible Schedule | Lafayette, LA 70507

The Habitat ReStore on Evangeline Thruway is a 27,000 sq. ft. home improvement retail outlet and an important part of the Habitat Lafayette ministry. New and gently used building materials, cabinets, appliances, furniture, lighting and accessories are donated by local individuals and businesses. The items are then sold to the public at reduced prices. Items that would typically end up in a landfill are given a second chance! Can you find diamonds in the rough? Can you spot a treasure? Our Home Décor department could use dedicated volunteers to make this department sparkle for our customers. Additionally, we have many art pieces, and we’d love to find someone with knowledge in the area. With experience, these volunteers have the option to learn how to price items.

Many of our donations can often be ready to sell with a little sanding, a screw, or a minor repair. With a little help from some talented volunteers, we could not only raise more money to build Habitat homes but save furniture from cluttering our landfills. Would you like to volunteer with us? We are available five days a week (Tuesday-Saturday), year-round.

Mission Statement

Lafayette Habitat for Humanity's mission is to put God's love into action by bringing people together to build homes, communities, and hope. Together, we can broaden access to safe, affordable housing right here in Acadiana.

Description

Lafayette Habitat for Humanity (LHFH), one of more than 1,700 U.S. affiliates of Habitat for Humanity International, is a Christian ministry that welcomes all people dedicated to the cause of eliminating poverty housing.

Since 1992, volunteers from corporations, faith-based ministries, and civic organizations have worked in partnership with qualified homebuyers to construct affordable, sustainable homes, which are then purchased through zero-interest mortgages.

As of 2023, LHFH has built and rehabilitated nearly 150 homes in south Louisiana. For more information, please visit www.habitatlafayette.org or call 337-261-5041.
