There are several ways you can get involved in Shantytown. First and foremost you can gather a group of friends together for a Build Team. Register your group online through this website in order to secure your Shanty Build Kit. Along with building materials such as duct tape, razor blades, and twine, you will receive any promotional swag that our donors would like to provide. In addition you will receive a Shantytown 2009 wrist band that will allow you to get some free food and drinks from the Shantytown General Store.
For every hour you spend in Shantytown we are suggesting our donors sponsor you at two dollars per hour per student. If you have the maximum ten person team and you spend 5 hours in Shantytown, you will have raised 1000 dollars per donor for Habitat for Humanity of Central Iowa.
Don't feel like building anything? There are a lot of other ways to get involved. We are in need of a great many volunteers to do things ranging from helping with donations and advertising to running the Shanty Games the day of the event. If you would like to get involved please email us at: Shantytown2009@gmail.com or call 515 867 6465.
