JACKSON HOLE, WYO –Habitat for Humanity of the Greater Teton Area (Teton Habitat) is challenging community members to participate in its 2nd Annual Winter Warrior Challenge. The volunteering competition launches on January 8 and will run through March 31.
Each hour spent volunteering earns participants a point in the challenge. The three volunteers with the highest number of points on April 1 will receive prizes according to rank—1st, 2nd, and 3rd place. The prizes include an evening stay and a round of golf for two at Big Sky Resort, a dinner for two at any Fine Dining Restaurant, and a $100 gift certificate to Jackson Hole Buffalo Meat Company.
Habitat builds year round and is in need of support during the winter months the most. It is critical to continue to have volunteers active on the site in order to hit project deadlines. The Winter Warrior Challenge aims to increase volunteer participation during the chilliest time of year.
“Lending a hand at the jobsite during the winter is super educational and very rewarding,” says outreach coordinator Elizabeth Ferguson. “Volunteers have the opportunity to work alongside our construction team and homeowners.” Individuals and groups are invited to participate in the Winter Warrior Challenge.
Volunteers are welcome to build with Teton Habitat at The Grove (845 W. Snow King Ave) any Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday from 9:00am to 4:30pm. Interested volunteers should sign up online.
Please make sure you always dress appropriately when you come to volunteer with Habitat, especially during the winter months. This winter, volunteer tasks include, but are not limited to, interior finishes, flooring, installing cabinets and framing.
