HDA EVENTS
Annual Volunteer & Fundraising Activities
Get Involved By Helping HDA Build & Repair Mountain Homes!
There’s always something we can do to help those in need. Throughout the four counties we serve in East Kentucky (Breathitt, Knott, Leslie, and Perry – all deemed “persistent poverty” counties by the USDA), HDA carpenters build new, affordable homes for low-income families in need of housing and complete home repairs & rehabs for homeowners who need to make their homes better places to live. This work is made possible by our generous funders, donors, and supporters.
We’re also incredibly grateful for the labor of volunteers from right here in the mountains of East Kentucky and from all over the country, who help us get as much work done as possible. Volunteers are always in great need – not only because volunteers help us build and repair more homes than we can on our own, but also because volunteer labor helps us cut back on the costs of labor, making our homes and home repairs even more affordable for those in need in Appalachian East Kentucky.
Each year, we host special events that allow folks the opportunity to play a more active role in building a brighter future for our community! With the help of our donors and sponsors, these events bring volunteer groups from throughout the counties we serve, the state of Kentucky, and from all over the country together to serve low-income Appalachian people in need of new, affordable, and better housing.
Upcoming Events
Please be aware that some events are open only to local volunteers (from Breathitt, Knott, Leslie, or Perry Counties in East Kentucky). Other events are open to all volunteers – local and state & national. If you have questions about volunteering, please contact us.
Volunteering for an HDA event has many benefits, including:
- meeting new folks and making new friends & connections
- learning more about the affordable housing needs of East Kentucky
- taking a stand for our local community and/or the Appalachian people,
- making our mountain community stronger, and
- uniting together in a shared vision of a better, more resilient East Kentucky free from the affects of poverty.
Construction experience is not required.
Our on-staff carpenters are always on-site to guide and help you. Volunteer as an individual or better yet, bring your friends, co-workers, club members, classmates, church family, or teammates with you and let’s see how much we can accomplish together!
