Group Build Day

A group build day is a chance for members of your business, organization, church, or school to work together as a team.  The group will have to communicate and cooperate to get the job done.  Work exclusively with members of your group or invite friends, family or clients to join your build.  Participants will bond with each other, learn new skills, and have fun, all while providing financial and volunteer resources needed to build homes for families in need.  We will provide you with the tools and training so your group can see immediate results.

Group of VolunteersThis group build day gives Habitat and your company an opportunity to partner in a truly significant and meaningful way. Through this program, companies provide a financial donation ($1,500 for corporate group/team build days and a suggested $25-$50/person for civic, church and school groups) and send a team of up to 12 volunteers to our work site to swing hammers. By contributing this tax-deductible donation, your company helps share with us the cost of building materials and supervision, enabling us to continue to build homes and serve families. Companies are welcome to give more if they are able, and we thank you for keeping Habitat in mind while pursuing your charitable giving goals.
