Nehemiah Project Volunteer
Opportunities For This Program |
Did you see the woman? You drove past her home. It was the one with the front porch that looked like it had fallen off. Look again, it had fallen off. The Nehemiah Team is on its way to repair it. Then you will see her.

| Nehemiah Project, named after the Old Testament
prophet who rebuilt the walls of Jerusalem, provides home repairs
for moderate to low-income homeowners. Priority is given to projects
that remedy or prevent substandard conditions, and to improve accessibility
for the disabled. Repairs are performed by qualified contractors,
staff and volunteers. Last year, Nehemiah staff, contractors and their
faithful volunteers performed home repairs worth $120,547.00. Nehemiah’s
primary source of funding is the City
of Fayetteville Community Development Office with HUD grants and
the United Way of Cumberland County.
Homeowners must be able to provide proof of ownership and proof of income to qualify for this program. Keep your eyes open when you’re on the road and you’re likely to spot our Nehemiah Team riding around town in their blue Urban Ministry pick-up truck. Many special members of the Fayetteville community have warmer and safer homes and we in turn are touched by their lives, their stories and their hearts. Each year the Nehemiah Project participates with Operation Inasmuch, a lay-led ecumenical volunteer day. Nehemiah staff identifies a low-income neighborhood and coordinates volunteer teams from local churches who perform repairs. Other volunteer days include Law Day and the United Way Day of caring. |
