Individuals and Groups committed to building homes can join one of FCHDE upcoming projects. No experience is necessary. ​ But we are especially in need of licensed contractors and experienced builders of all kinds – electricians, plumbers, carpenters, roofers, masons.

Your interests and skills can help others in our community. Even help with paperwork at job sites, help with refreshments for those working, pick up a rake or broom, or move some boxes. We need everyone!

We welcome all of our servicemen and women and their families to serve in our community while serving our country. Many of the clients are military veterans. 

The FCHDE wants to capitalize on skill sets gained from military service for leadership, employment, internships, and apprenticeships.

Board of Directors and Advisors. We are ready to grow our network and are seeking outgoing, engaging, and visionary leaders to join our Board of Directors with the expertise to enhance our operations, so we can best serve our clients, volunteers, and donors.

Faith in Action: We invite churches and faith communities who would like to get their congregations involved in the action of service. We seek to provide innovative and creative methods for engaging church congregations and other faith communities in our Christian ministry. We provide the opportunity to serve and the guidance to do so, allowing churches to put their faith into action. In turn, the work of churches allows us to expand our ministry in the name of God.

Student Builders is a network of committed youth partners who are a part of The Fuller Center’s mission and ministry. Student Builders walk the talk and ‘Build on the Rock!’ because we believe showing true faith in Jesus means turning his love for us into action for others (Matthew 7 & 25). FCHDE Student Builders seek to build each other up in Christ. Building up each other, our partner families, and our communities in the love of Christ. Raising money, speaking with local leaders, recruiting volunteers, garnering gifts-in-kind and volunteering on local projects. Getting the word out about the enormous need and all the ways people can help. Student spring break and summer provide the greatest number of volunteer opportunities.
