Mississippi State's Maroon Volunteer Center is encouraging interested individuals on campus and in the local community to help build a Habitat for Humanity home for a local family in need.

Volunteer shifts are available from Aug. 14 through Nov. 3. Volunteers should wear closed-toe shoes and are encouraged to bring a water bottle. Participants do not need to have any prior construction skills; just a positive attitude and desire to make a difference.
