What To Expect On-Site 

During the Day

·       Arrive on site on time and plan to stay for the day. Let your group organizer know if you won’t be able to come as scheduled. Try to give plenty of notice so we can make other arrangements.

·      The work day begins at 8:30, with a morning break, lunch break, an afternoon break, and ends at 4:00.  It will save time if you register with Habitat as a member of Tres Iglesias, print the registration form, and bring it with you on your first day.

·      Unlike the summer projects, you will need to provide your own lunch and snacks. Drinking water and restroom facilities will be provided on-site.

Tools

·      Most tools are available on site, but it can be helpful to bring your own. We suggest: a tool belt with hammer, tape measure, utility knife and pencils. Remember to label your tools.

·      If you bring power tools, do not allow others to use them without the Site Supervisor’s permission.

Personal Items

·      Wear work boots or sneakers that are slip resistant and fully enclose the foot. Open-toe and open-heeled shoes are not allowed on site.

·      We work rain, shine, or snow. Wear a hat and clothes that you won’t mind tearing or staining. Dress in layers so that you can add or subtract depending on weather conditions.

·      Work gloves, goggles and hard hats are provided, but you may bring your own.

Medical / Emergencies

·      A first aid kit will be available on site as well as a telephone for emergency use.

·      Should you need to be reached in case of an emergency, the Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity office can forward any information to the work site. Please call 612-331-4090.
