Volunteer Spotlight: Jeff

For more than two years, Jeff has been a familiar face at the Habitat ReStore, volunteering because he wanted to give back to his community. Inspired by the example of former President Jimmy Carter and his lifelong commitment to Habitat, Jeff found a meaningful way to make a difference through volunteering.


What keeps him coming back is the people as much as the mission. Jeff values the friendships he's formed with his fellow volunteers and the sense of connection that comes from being part of the team.


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.
