"Volunteering for HONK is a fun and rewarding experience!"

"I found out about HONK through my physical therapy patient, Jim [HONK Carpenter]. I decided to check it out and have been coming back ever since."

“Thank you all for showing us how to paint walls the right way. I really enjoyed getting to use a saw and cutting wood. I hope to find a great job like this one someday.”

Where?
Northern Kentucky, typically areas surrounding urban Covington. For our Cincinnati neighbors, helping out is just a quick trip across the river.
What?
We need help with painting, landscaping, demolition, and general cleanup. If you have construction skills or are very handy, additional opportunities are likely available. If you don't want to work in a house but still want to help towards our mission, we have administrative opportunities. Call our office to learn more.
Why?
Work alongside NKY and Cincinnati community members for a good cause. Help a family in need achieve the American dream of homeownership.
