Description
In general you will help us in the construction of new homes for families in need, although we sometimes have opportunities for Greater Blessings projects where we perform small repairs or improvements on existing homes. Much of the volunteer work for these projects includes, but is not limited to, making and pouring lots of concrete, digging holes, and moving construction materials. Volunteers are able to briefly immerse themselves in the local culture while furthering the Fuller Center mission of eliminating poverty housing worldwide.

You get to experience the joy of giving a family a beacon of hope by providing them with a home and helping them take a step towards a better life!
