The theft was discovered on Monday when volunteers returned to the work site on Gershal Road.
A lock to their construction trailer was broken and every single tool inside was gone.
"Even our first-aid kit, t-shirts, they took everything," said Sue Ann Leighty of the Salem County Habitat for Humanity.
"It's really sad because we know what Habitat is all about," said Rev. Daniel Jones of the St. James Baptist Church.
