ABOUT SHED BUILDING

Providing homeowners with sheds provides a safe, dry place to store salvaged belongings while their homes are being rebuilt or repaired. Volunteers from local churches use this opportunity to reach out to their community in the name of Jesus Christ during a time of need.

We welcome groups to come and serve at our headquarters to pre-fabricate the components of the sheds.

Group size: 4-20 people

Cost:

  • $50 per person for a half day (3-4 hours)

  • $100 per person for a full day (6-8 hours)

Age: 12+

Housing is available for overnight groups. You can reach out to our Volunteer Coordinator at volunteer@ides.org to discuss your needs.

Tools and PPE are provided by IDES, but your tools are welcome.

Clothing: Pants or shorts are fine, but closed-toed shoes are mandatory.

After the first phase of our disaster response, IDES will work with local churches to assess if more needs to be done which could include home damage repair, home builds, and sheds.

How to Get Involved:

  • Go to Volunteer Opportunities and sign up to get notifications when we are looking for volunteers to serve on disaster sites.

SIGN UP FOR A SHED BUILD

NOTE:  Since there is no way to predict disasters, the level of need for sheds to be built varies throughout the year. In other words, there are some occasions when your group may be asked to serve in a different way depending on IDES' greatest need.
