HabiJax is a Christian housing ministry founded in 1988. Its goal is to provide safe and decent housing for low-income, working families. According to Quick, HabiJax homeowners are involved in all aspects of the project. They also contribute 300 hours of labor to building new homes. HabiJax offers many different ways in which volunteers can help.
People can help in the actual construction of homes or in various administrative duties.
Donations of money, building materials and office supplies are also needed. Both skilled and unskilled volunteers are welcome. A trained HabiJax construction superintendent supervises work on all job sites. Volunteers should be at least 16 years old. Volunteer orientation meetings are at 7 p.m. on the second Monday of each month at Southside Baptist Church, located at 1435 Atlantic Blvd.
