Habitat Build Days
Habitat Build Days are an important fundraising component in support of our mandate of providing affordable homeownership to our community.
A Habitat Build Team has the unique opportunity to spend a day assisting in building one of our Habitat houses. Team builds are often done by local businesses, corporations or even a group of friends wanting to have the experience of working on a Habitat build site.
This opportunity not only helps build a Habitat home, but fosters team morale, and creates a sense of community and team spirit! Habitat Build Days consist of tasks on our local build sites – from framing and site clean-up, to painting, landscaping and much, much more!
You and your team can look forward to an exhilarating, action-packed day on our local build site. Here’s what a typical day looks like.
- 8:30 am: Participants arrive at the site and sign in. You’ll be outfitted with personal safety gear and you can grab your morning coffee and light breakfast.
- 8:45 am: Welcome and safety briefing. This is when you’ll either be assigned – or possibly get to choose your task for the day.
- 12:30 pm: Lunchtime! There is a catered lunch included with your build day and snacks, coffee and water will be available throughout the day. There is also a small refrigerator on site for anyone who wishes to bring their own lunch.
- 4:00 pm: Clean-up and farewell.
