The Thrivent Builds and Habitat for Humanity home build project in Morgan Hill is set to start accepting volunteers.
SUMMARY
The Thrivent sponsored home is located on Cory Drive (opposite #16805), bordered by East Dunne Ave, Butterfield Ave., and San Pedro Ave. It is one of 6 homes as part of the Habitat for Humanity project in Morgan Hill.
The project is expected to be completed in 8-10 months, depending on weather and strength of the volunteer participation.
HOW TO VOLUNTEER
Groups
A group is between 5-20 persons. A count and list of names needs to be sent to the coordinator two (2) weeks in advance of each Saturday session. This will help the coordinator to plan headcount and assignments each Saturday, since other Lutheran groups will also be volunteering in the project.
Ted Chin and Daryl Zappe will be coordinating the group representing Advent Lutheran. If you would like to join the Advent team, let them know if you can: commit to specific Saturdays (1st, 3rd of the month), as specific date if we are assigned, a specific month, or want to be on the list on call depending on availability of assignments.

Daryl Zappe: smilezap@msn.com
A sign-up sheet will be setup in the narthex and published on the Advent website. Specific dates assigned to the Advent team will be posted as well.
Individuals
Fill out a short on-line registration form and sign up for a specific date. Individual volunteers can work on days other than Saturday, usually Wed-Fri. The schedule will be posted shortly.
Due to liability considerations, one must be over 18 yrs old to work on site. Youth between 16 and 18 may work on site as long as a parent or guardian is with them.
WHAT TO BRING AND WEAR
Tools and hardhats will be available on site. You may bring your own tools and equipment if more comfortable. Construction quality clothing, sturdy shoes/boots, and protective eyewear are recommended.
SKILLS
No specific construction skills are required. During the project, we will provide updates on the progress of the build and the kind of work upcoming. That way, you can plan to volunteer for a specific type of work (e.g. drywall, painting).
UPDATES
We'll be providing the congregation with periodic updates in the weekly bulletin, monthly newsletter, and on the Advent website http://www.advent-lutheran.org/.
