Habitat Charlotte Region’s brand-new Playhouse Build is a fun and meaningful way to volunteer with colleagues and friends and create a safe place for children to play, all while raising funds for more affordable housing in the community. Volunteer teams come together to construct and paint playhouses that are then given to local Habitat families, veteran and active duty military families, and other local nonprofits.
Habitat Charlotte Region’s Playhouse Build is designed to offer a creative and meaningful team building experience for corporate partners who might not be able to commit their employees off-site for an entire traditional build day on a Habitat construction project. A Playhouse Build is a half-day event building and decorating durable playhouses, with groups of 6-8 people per playhouse. Corporate partners will be in charge of creating the paint design and decoration based on the preferences of the child(ren). With flexible scheduling, this is a great engagement option for teams and events of any sizes.
Teams contribute a tax-deductible donation of $2,500 per playhouse to offset associated costs and also further the mission of Habitat Charlotte Region.
