Join a Habitat Committee

As we move into our new fiscal year, we’re excited to announce a new organizational structure that could involve you! We’ll be establishing five committees – some of which already exist – to help grow our organization stronger and larger. The committees will begin their monthly meetings in July. The committees are:
  • Building Committee
  • Events Committee
  • Family Services Committee
  • Finance Committee
  • Fund Development Committee.
We hope you’ll consider getting involved with Rice County Habitat in this new and exciting way! If you’d like more information about a committee or would like to join one, please fill out this Google Form and you will be contacted with more information.
