HOW TO SUPPORT THE BUILD
BE A “SQUARE FOOTER”
The cost of a new build home in Fitzgerald, GA is $125,000 for a 1200 sq. ft. home, so the cost per square foot is roughly $100. If you, your Bible Study group, your Sunday school class, your church’s Mission’s Committee, your extended family, your business, etc. would be willing to commit to one or more square feet, together we will raise enough money to build a new affordable home in Fitzgerald. See donation options below.
BE A MEAL SPONSOR
Work teams will be fed lunch, snacks and beverages six days/week and communal dinners two nights/week. If you would like to sponsor a meal, see donation options below.
BE A VOLUNTEER
You are invited to participate in Together We Build in Fitzgerald, GA. Whether you are an individual or part of a group, we have a place for you! The weekly build schedule for all four weeks of the build begins with a communal dinner on Sunday night at 6 p.m. Work on the build site begins on Monday morning and concludes on the following Saturday. If your group wants to get creative and (for example) bring 3 people for the first 3 days and another set of 3 for the remaining 3 days, we invite this type of creativity!
Up to 25 volunteers can sign up to work each week. Work site hours are 7:30 a.m. — 4:00 p.m. daily on Monday through Saturday (except the last week). Each week two communal dinners will be provided. Lunch, snacks and beverages will be provided daily on the work site.
