Hearts & Hammers Volunteers



Hearts & Hammers
is a non-profit organization dedicated to helping folks stay in their homes when they are not able to make necessary repairs themselves.
Our annual all-volunteer workday is the first Saturday of May when almost 500 volunteers will help rehab 30- 40 homes on South Whidbey.


We need volunteers with a wide range of skills, including: Painters ~ Plumbers ~ Electricians ~ Carpenters ~ Cooks & Kitchen Helpers ~ Yard Workers & Gardeners ~ Willing Laborers ~ Pick-up Trucks & Drivers ~ Wood Splitters.

All are welcome from age 12 - 112!
Unfortunately, we can’t allow anyone under 12 to volunteer. Medical release forms will be provided for 12-17 year-olds. Click the PDF icon to the left or the link above to download the form. Without the release, House Captains will not be able to let minors work. A release form will be mailed to you to fill out.
Please arrange your own childcare for children under 12.
12-15 year olds with a medical release may work with their parents only.
16-17 year olds need the medical release and written parental permission.

Saturday May 5th, 2012 - 8am to 6pm, Rain or Shine!
7:45am- Everyone gathers at the South Whidbey High School Commons at 5675 Maxwelton Rd, Langley
for coffee, tea and morning munchies.
You will meet your House Captain and team members, sign WAIVER FORMS and go over SAFETY guidelines.
