Preserve a Home Program

Preserve a Home Sponsorship

Provide funding to help transform a home in disrepair. The Preserve a Home sponsor group has the opportunity to see the impact in a short period of time as the exterior rehabilitation process is completed.

Funding
We have several levels of sponsorship:

Scheduling Options
Preserve a Home Sponsorships offer groups the opportunity to provide their volunteers with a unique team-building experience for one day up to 13 days (up to 195 volunteer slots) on the house they sponsor. *The number of days depends on the level of sponsorship and construction schedule./scope of work.

The Development Department will work with groups to determine their desire and need for number of volunteer days within the funding level. Sponsors do NOT have to provide volunteers. Trinity Habitat has many “non-sponsor” volunteer groups who simply want to help build, but do not have the resources to provide funding.

Workday Guidelines
The typical work schedule is 8:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. with a 30-min. lunch break.
There are 15 volunteers per shift.
