LEAF Supports Habitat for Humanity Seminole County/Apopka

Volunteers put in about 3,000 hours for each home we build, accounting for a significant portion of the total construction hours. Most of our volunteers have never worked on a construction site before and some have never held a hammer. But the wonderful part about contributing is that it doesn’t require extensive experience or skill to make a big difference. You’ll learn on the job from our construction site supervisor. It only takes passion and willingness. It’s that simple!

LEAF, Inc. is excited to support Habitat for Humanity 

We are so excited to have you on the construction site where together we build affordable housing.
