Help Us Move

We’re moving our operations from Lonsdale to Northfield and need some muscle to get the bulk of our items transported. We’re looking for four volunteers to help load, transport and unload things from 9 a.m. to noon this Thursday, June 23.Sign up if you can help us out!

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.
