Have you ever been interested in volunteering your time with Habitat for Humanity? Want to help fulfill someone’s dream of having their own home?
Join the Outreach Committee for another work site day volunteering time with Habitat for Humanity of the Greater Harrisburg Area. No specific skills or construction expertise needed. Materials and guidance will be provided by Habitat for Humanity and they will match you with a job based on your skill set day of the event. Before attending the event, a volunteer form, waiver, and online volunteer safety course need to be completed.
Volunteers will meet at the Habitat for Humanity ReStore at 800 Paxton St. at 8:15 am and carpool to the work site for the day. Any amount of volunteer hours is appreciated; however, a full workday is preferred.
Please email Outreach@hyp.org if interested in volunteering. Only 10 spots are available – first come first served.
Please join HYP members and community members at Wildwood Park to help clean up litter, do some light gardening, and maintain the trails. HYP will be joining the Friends of Wildwood on one of their monthly volunteer cleanup days.
Volunteers should meet at the Benjamin Olewine III Nature Center at 10:00 am.
The event will be canceled if raining.
Please join your fellow HYP members and volunteers from International House on the morning of July 14 for our annual Teamed-Up Cleanup on City Island! This will be our 3rd year beautifying the same area. Volunteers will be pulling weeds (of course) and doing other maintenance on the flower beds, raking the grasses out of the beach volleyball courts, and adding fresh paint to picnic tables. We might be able to get more donated plants and mulch to keep this area looking good!

Water, gloves, and tools will be provided, but please bring your own if you have them, and don’t forget to wear sunscreen and your Forster Street T-shirt!
Represent HYP in the 6th Annual Great Harrisburg Litter Cleanup!
On Earth Day, April 21, hundreds of your neighbors will hit the streets with bags and gloves to make Harrisburg a cleaner place to live, work, and play. Last year, over 300 volunteers removed over 23 tons of trash, tires, and e-waste from our capital city in a single day! With your help, this community-wide event can be an even greater success.
Work with volunteers around your neighborhood or join the HYP crew and Friends of Midtown crew as we help beautify the neighborhood for Home Tour! Don’t forget to wear your HYP gear!
Individuals register for the Cleanup via https://www.cactricounty.org/great-harrisburg-litter-cleanup/ and provide T-shirt size.
We are asking HYP members to also RSVP via the HYP Facebook event page or at beautification@hyp.org so we have a head count and can help coordinate volunteers in different neighborhoods.
