Habitat for Humanity of Greater Newark builds and repairs homes for local families who need affordable housing. Volunteers work beside construction and site supervisors on real job sites in Newark and in Essex, Hudson and Union counties. The setting is an active construction site, so closed work boots and long pants are the norm. Most people come for a single day, and about 1,500 volunteers help each year.
