The RIT Women's Rugby Football Club will be building homes, community, and hope with Flower City Habitat for Humanity on Saturday, December 9th!

There will be a morning shift (9-1) and an afternoon shirt (12-4), with an overlapping lunch. Please bring a lunch. Meetup location for both shifts will be 205 Campbell Street.

To volunteer on the construction site, you must register by using the "participate" link on the right menu. (Scroll down for volunteer FAQs.)

If you just want to help fundraise, you can join the team by using the same "participate" link on the right and select "not building" as your shift, or just share this page!

In addition to volunteers, Habitat needs financial support to grow and help more of our neighbors build strength, stability, and self-reliance through shelter.

We all know that homeownership helps lift neighbors out of poverty, gives children the stability to focus and succeed in school, and gives families the foundation to build their lives. Habitat Homebuyers work through financial training, savings plans, sweat equity (where they help build), and then they pay an affordable mortgage, paying it forward to the next neighbor who needs a hand up, not a hand out.

Please join us in supporting this great cause by making a donation to our fundraising page today. Together, we can help Rochester lead the way to a world where everyone has a decent place to live.
