Habitat homes are built by incoming partner families and community volunteers. Everyone is welcome, skilled or unskilled. Our build sites are judgment-free learning zones — come ask questions, gain new skills and make new friends! Our construction supervisor will teach you what you need to know and provide you with all the necessary tools, safety equipment, and training.
A Team Build day allows your business to strengthen its team while helping families achieve their dream of affordable homeownership. Unlike spending a day doing trust falls and building marshmallow towers, we will challenge your group to communicate, work together, and create something that makes a difference. Employees will return to the workplace motivated, connected, and inspired!
Team Build donations cover the cost of building materials, supervision, t-shirts, and lunch for the group. We ask for $1000 for every ten volunteers or $100 per individual. We have a 10-person max each day; if more people want to participate, you’re happy to accommodate multiple build days.
Scheduled for August 28th – September 1st, 2023.
Our Women Build Week is an annual event to raise awareness about the housing crisis and its disproportionate impact on women-led households. Teams are responsible for raising $1,000 (or $100 per person if less than ten people) to cover the cost of the day’s building materials, site supervision, meals, and t-shirts.
Priding ourselves on being allies to all, we believe that a person is shaped by multiple overlapping identities, creating a reality greater than the sum of its parts. Gender, race, age, location, disability status, income, sexuality, and citizenship are a few of the many identities that shape our experiences and needs. We encourage self-identifying women, people of color, trans women, and women-aligned groups to participate.
