WORK DAY - MAY 16th
Our Mission
North Whidbey Hearts & Hammers hosts an Annual Workday built on a straightforward idea: Neighbors Helping Neighbors. Each year, volunteers come together to repair homes for those who are physically or financially unable to do the work themselves—strengthening our community one home at a time.
Work Day
Saturday, May 16
Hosted at Living Word Church, Crosby Road
Once a year, our community comes together in a powerful way. More than 150 volunteers join forces for our Annual Hearts & Hammers Workday, rolling up their sleeves to help neighbors in need. On Saturday, May 16, 2026, the day begins with a kickoff breakfast at Living Word Church, where teams are organized and prepared for the work ahead.
From there, crews head out across North Whidbey to complete critical repairs on 10 to 15 homes, helping homeowners remain safe, secure, and independent. Throughout the day, house captains lead volunteers, connections are built, and neighbors come together in meaningful ways. The day ends back at the church with a shared dinner, where volunteers and homeowners gather to reflect and celebrate all that was accomplished.
Our Workday is more than home repairs — it’s about connection, dignity, and neighbors helping neighbors.
Apply for Help
We welcome homeowner assistance applications all year long.
Applications received after early February are considered for our Heart Projects, which are completed after our annual Work Day in late spring. These projects allow us to continue serving neighbors in need beyond our main event.
We are seeking neighbors who want to make a tangible difference in our community. Whether you’re a master carpenter, a handy painter, or simply someone with a big heart and a willing pair of hands, there is a place for you on our team.
Together, we help transform lives by ensuring every neighbor has a safe and stable home.
Join the Crew
An Evening of Compassion:
Our Annual Community Dinner
Our annual Community Dinner is a special evening where neighbors come together to share a meal, connect, and support one another. More than just an event, it’s a time to hear meaningful stories, celebrate the impact of our work, and learn how you can be part of helping local homeowners stay safe and secure in their homes. Guests also have the opportunity to explore ways to get involved, including becoming a House Captain—our incredible volunteer leaders who help guide each project.
Join us in February 2027 for an evening of good food, genuine connection, and a shared commitment to making a difference in our community.
