HOW TO SUPPORT THE BUILD
BE A “SQUARE FOOTER”
The cost of a new home build in Fitzgerald, GA is approximately $100,000 for a 1100+ sq. ft. home. That is roughly $100/square foot! If you, your Bible Study group, your church’s Missions Committee, your extended family, your business, etc. would be willing to commit to one or more square feet, together we will raise enough money to build a new affordable home in rural space!
BE A MEAL SPONSOR
Work teams will be fed lunch, snacks and beverages six days/week and communal dinners two nights/week.
If you would like to sponsor a meal, contact rachel@tfhope.org.
BE A VOLUNTEER
Whether you are an individual or group, we have a place for you!
Within each build week, work begins on Monday morning and concludes the following Saturday.
If you or your group cannot come for an entire week of service, you can come as you are able.
If you can only come on a Saturday, please come! Worksite hours are 7:30 AM – 4:00 PM daily Monday through Saturday.
All levels of workers are welcome. Join us!
