VOLUNTEERS IMPACT EVERY FACET OF OUR ORGANIZATION. WITHOUT PEOPLE LIKE YOU, WE COULD NOT BRING THE DREAM OF A DECENT AFFORDABLE HOME TO A FAMILY IN NEED. HERE ARE OUR TOP VOLUNTEER NEEDS.

New Construction – Dodd Meadows

Dodd Meadows is our latest community development. It is located at the corner of Crest Road and East Blue Ridge Road in East Flat Rock, making it close to schools, churches, shopping and community resources. The community is named in honor of Steve Dodd who served as the affiliate’s president from 2003 through 2008, a period of time that represented tremendous growth for Henderson County Habitat for Humanity.

Dodd Meadows will consist of park areas, a playground, sidewalks, walking trails, ponds and bright cottage architectural homes. In addition, the community will be served by a clubhouse that will be available to both Dodd Meadows residents and organizations from the surrounding community for meetings and group activities. The street names in this development will honor volunteers and contributors to Habitat.
