Welcome!

Morris County is one of New Jersey’s most affluent counties and yet, there are thousands of families living in inadequate or substandard housing because they can’t afford the area’s high prices. As a nonprofit, equal opportunity, ecumenical Christian housing ministry, we are dedicated to building decent, affordable housing with low-income families. Habitat invites people of all backgrounds, races and religions to build houses together in partnership with families in need.

Construction Volunteers Needed This Winter

Do you enjoy the challenge of working outdoors on a cold and refreshing winter day? We build houses all year long from Wednesdays through Saturdays. Warming stations and hot beverages are available, and some jobs are indoors. Construction volunteers are most needed on the mid-week days. Come by yourself or plan a day with your family, friends or co-workers. Just one day will make a difference. No construction experience is necessary, and no long-term commitment is required. Volunteers must be 16 years or older. The current work sites are in Morristown, Stanhope and Dover. E-mail with days you can help, and she will fit you into the work schedule.

Give a Day. Get a Disney Day.

Disney Parks want to inspire one million people to volunteer a day of service in their communities by giving them a free 1-day, 1-theme park ticket to the Disneyland® Resort or Walt Disney World® Resort. The program continues until tickets are distributed or until December 15, 2010, whichever occurs first.

Go to the Give A Day. Get A Disney Day. web site to search by town name for a specific volunteer activity that is available within the next 60 days. Morris Habitat construction projects will be listed in Stanhope, Morristown and Dover. Projects at the ReStore are listed in Mine Hill. New opportunities for volunteering will be added as the need arises. Please check often to see what projects are available, since the spots are taken quickly.

You must pre-register and sign up through the Disney Parks web site to volunteer. Within 2 weeks after Disney Parks receives verification from the participating organization that you’ve completed your service, they’ll send you an e-mail with a voucher redeemable for a 1-day, 1-theme park ticket. Limit is one free ticket per person. The ticket is non-transferable so you may not give it to someone else, but you may donate your ticket to Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Florida or Southern California. Your voucher must be redeemed by December 15, 2010. However, the following block-out dates are excluded from the program:

  • Walt Disney World® Resort:
    March 29-April 8 and July 4
  • The Disneyland® Resort:
    February 13-14, March 21, June 21-22, July 4, November 21, December 11-12
