restore: the habitat for humanity of greater dayton restore program sells quality used and surplus household furnishings and building materials that are donated to the restore and sold to the general public. The proceeds from these sales help to support the mission of the agency to build homes in montgomery and greene counties.

family services: the family services program provides direct delivery of services to qualified low income families throughout greene and montgomery counties through four phases of the habitat for humanity program: prospect, selection, pre-purchase and post-closing.

volunteer services and other program services: volunteers are the heart of habitat for humanity of greater dayton. The organization engaged 5,230 dedicated people from teenagers to senior citizens to volunteer with us this year. Dayton habitat's mission brings together individual and group volunteers from corporate, faith, educational, and community groups to ensure that everyone may live in safe, decent, and affordable housing. We utilize an on-line, personalized volunteer registration and placement of service system to assure that every volunteer has the opportunity to select a specific work site, learn new construction skills, interact with our partner families, and meet their personal and/or professional community service goals with appropriate documentation and recognition. We partner with americorps, several educational institutions with workforce development curriculum, service learning and internships, and with the court system in providing mandated community service opportunities. In addition to actually building our homes with volunteer labor, all of our programs and operations are heavily staffed with volunteers. Site selection, construction, family selection, classroom instructors, partner family advocates, public relations and community education, finance, nominating, board of trustees and strategic planning account for 150-200 highly skilled professionals who volunteer their time and talents on behalf of our partner families. We solicit, cultivate, train, and recognize our volunteers throughout the year with multi-faceted communication tools that include social media, website, printed newsletters, annual report, and personal visits to faith-based organizations, corporations, social and service clubs.
