Since most committees meet only once a month this is a wonderful way to give a little of your time yet help so many. Each committee, although unique in its goals and functions, works in tandem with all of the other committees to assist Arundel Habitat in meeting the goal of building simple, decent homes for people in need. Together these committees make dreams into realities.

Participation normally requires attending monthly meetings, in addition to individual time throughout the month spent pursuing the goals of each committee.

Please check the Events and Meetings Calendar for Committee meeting dates and locations.
