House Party Volunteers 2021

Brunswick County Habitat for Humanity is in search of volunteers to assist in a day of giving back!

Habitat for Humanity has chosen a special family to build a home for. Volunteers will be installing floor, framing and sheathing, etc. Habitat for Humanity will lead volunteers and make sure that you are in the right place. No home-building experience is needed!

October 22 from 8:30 am - 1:00 pm in Supply (10 volunteers needed) 

All volunteers will receive recognition on BCARs website, social media, local newspapers, and state-wide credit from NC REALTORS®.

We recommend volunteers wear eye protection and closed-toe shoes.

What is a Feed the Funnel Party?
Two hours of fun and impact! We put on groovy hairnets, crank up some awesome music (be ready... spontaneous dance parties have been known to break out), and create thousands of shelf stable meals in an assembly line process. These meals will be donated to Brunswick Family Assistance, a local nonprofit.

What are we packing?
The meals packed at our Feed the Funnel party are delicious, nutritionally balanced, easy to prepare, and attractively packaged. Meals are created by adding several dry ingredients to a bag that is weighed, heat sealed, and put in boxes.

We have BIG #GOALS!
Typically, each participant will pack 300 meals. Our goal is to pack 40,000 meals total. We've got this!
