Volunteer
Fixing Homes, Changing Lives
Neighbors Serving Neighbors
Volunteers are the backbone, heart, and soul of Hammer and Nails.
Make a lasting impact on your community by donating your labor to fix homes and change lives. Be the hands and feet of our homeowners and help those who need it most, for no one has made it through life without someone else’s help. Let’s build hope together in Stark County, one homeowner project at a time.
OUR VOLUNTEERS
Stemmed from a temporary outreach ministry in 1993, at North Industry Christian Church called Rolling Valley Workcamp (RVWC). We then incorporated into an independent, non-profit organization in 2000, operating full–time since January 2002, we rely on the generosity of the community and foundation grants.
Volunteer Highlight
Malone University recently partnered with us to install a wheelchair ramp for Ron, an 85-year-old homeowner who expressed the need for a ramp so that he could better care for his wife who suffers from dementia. The first thing he said he wants to do with this ramp is take his wife to get her hair done. Stories like this are the reason we do what we do at Hammer & Nails, and we couldn’t do it without the work of our volunteers. Thank you, Malone!
