Gwinnett Habitat for Humanity Charity Profile

Inspired by the success of Habitat for Humanity, which since its founding in 1976 has provided housing for more than a million people, a group of citizens decided to take on the need for affordable housing in Gwinnett County.

In 1988 they founded Gwinnett Habitat, and since then we’ve helped to meet that need, one family at a time. Our partnerships with local businesses, churches, and volunteers from all walks of life have constructed more than 85 new homes, and put 150 children in Gwinnett County schools!

Now, as we enter our 20th year, we’re aiming higher than ever. We plan to double our home production in 2008, going from six homes to twelve and putting 30 more children in Gwinnett schools. We’re also building town homes for the first time — the first Gwinnett Habitat neighborhood!

Gwinnett Habitat for Humanity Volunteer Information

Building houses with Habitat is an experience you'll never forget: teamwork, helping people help themselves, solid results.

Our volunteer opportunities don't require special skills or construction experience, just a readiness to pitch in and help. Some Habitat volunteers build houses, while others work with families, reach out to sponsors, or serve on planning and selection committees.
