About Home Works

Since 1996 Home Works, a home repair nonprofit ministry serving the citizens of South Carolina, North Carolina and Georgia has provided construction services to vulnerable homeowners with a model that includes mentoring and discipling students in the process. More than 45,000 student and adult volunteers have provided hope and free home repairs to over 2,700 homeowners across the southeast region.

Home Works provides a trifecta of services: repairing the homes of low-income seniors and those in need, intentionally mentoring students, and consciously protecting the environment through energy-efficiency weatherization in partnership with utility providers. A typical homeowner served by Home Works is a widow living off $12,000 (Social Security, pension) annually. Into this person’s isolated world, Home Works brings middle school, high school, or college youth and adult volunteers to provide repairs. Projects include the replacement of roofs, construction of wheelchair ramps, gutting and replacement of bathrooms, repairing ceilings, painting walls (interior/exterior), and general home repair.
