Hammers? Check. Nails? Check. Hard hats? Check. Tool belt? Check. Closed toed shoes? Check. Water bottles? Check. A positive attitude and a willingness to learn? Check and check. This is just a small supply list for volunteers working with Habitat for Humanity around the world, country, state, and city. There are always volunteers working to better a street, neighborhood, and sometimes a whole city.
