Q: How can I volunteer?
A: Go to Our Calendar and review the events that are posted. Contact our office if there is a particular event that you are interested in.
Q: How old do you have to be to work on a HOH house?
A: Typically we ask for volunteers ages 18 and up, however, we do accept ages 14-17 with adult supervision. Some local High Schools are offering community service opportunities to select students. Those are approved prior to volunteering.
Q: How can our company sponsor a house?
A: Just contact our office and we will give you information about homes in need of repairs and let your group select a home and family based on the repairs needed for the home. Your team will select a Team Captain that will meet the homeowner and review the home and write down all of the repairs needed and evaluate the cost involved. Some are light repairs, or medium repairs, but some homes need major repairs and may require more than one work day to accomplish the tasks.
Q: If I want to make a donation, where should I send it?
A: Local Monetary donations can be dropped off at our office to make a donation by check or cash. Check donations can be mailed to:
House of Heroes, Middle Georgia Chapter, Inc.

Macon, GA 31216
*If you would like to make a donation to National House of Heroes, please indicate it on your check.
Q: Our baseball team would like to get involved in your organization and volunteer, but we do not have the money to sponsor a house. How can we help?
A: We would like to offer an opportunity for your group to work on a house. If you do not have the money to sponsor a house, just let our Executive Director know and she will help you with your volunteer efforts. In the mean time, you can advocate for our organization by doing fundraisers throughout the next year so that you can sponsor a house the following year. These opportunities are available to groups that are unable to afford sponsor a house. HOH will offer FREE sponsorship to 6 select groups per year to encourage volunteerism and raise awareness.
