Volunteer Spotlight: Jeff

Jeff began volunteering with Cedar Valley Habitat for Humanity ReStore about two years ago after accompanying his wife as she explored volunteer opportunities. Seeing a need that matched his skill set, he stepped in to help with electrical checkout and repairs on battery-operated tools and garden equipment. Today, Jeff volunteers several days a week, also helping organize and stock the store.



“I enjoy the variety of the work and the people I get to work alongside. Hopefully I’m making a small difference in helping people get their first homes and start a new life.”


If you would like to donate your time and talent by volunteering with Habitat, please contact Kelly Murphy at kelly.murphy@cvhabitat.org or 319.366.4485, ext. 104.
