Check out our video illustrating the many uses of Stinging Nettle! Want more Stinging Nettle facts? Head over to our blog! Stinging nettle, aka Urtica dioica, has been used for food, medicine, and fiber dating back to the Bronze Age!   This plant is jam-packed with nutrients. Plants that are so nutrient-dense are also often used medicinally. Any herbalist you ask will likely gush about how much they love this plant.   The use of stinging nettle for fiber and food predates medieval times. Along with flax and hemp, nettle was Europe’s most important plant-based textile material since it grows even in northern climates, unlike cotton.

We build strength, stability and self-reliance through shelter.

Welcome to our online volunteer calendar!

Whether sorting donations in the ReStore, hammering on the construction site, or assisting families with critical home repair, we hope you’ll find the volunteer opportunity that is right for you!

• Our construction sites are open! Sign-up to build with us with just your email and first name. No password is required. If you need additional assistance please email Stephanie Wallace.
• Looking to schedule a team build day? We welcome corporate and faith groups year-round. To inquire about sponsorship opportunities please email Zoe Trout.

  Homes

  Safe, stable housing is linked to improved health, better educational outcomes, financial stability, and much more. See data below.

  Hope

  With thousands already served, those seeking stable housing can see what safe, decent housing has done for others and what it can do for them.

  Communities

  Communities are built when neighbors connect. Through our homebuyer education program, neighbors get to know each other long before move-in day.

  Since incorporating on February 11, 1983, thousands of local adults and children have benefitted from AAHH’s affordable Homeownership and Home Repair Programs. Each home build and home repair project has been an exercise in partnership. Volunteers, donors, advocates, homeowners, and ReStore supporters – folks of various religions, ethnicities, socio-economic classes, and political beliefs – unite around a shared vision and build homes, communities, and hope.

  We are grateful to all who have been part of the journey thus far. And we invite new partners to our work. There is still much work to be done, and it will take all of us
