Corporations and Teams

Every team builds a home and itself

Thank you for your interest in corporate volunteering. Many businesses recognize the short- and long-term benefits of taking employees outside the walls of the office, and into the volunteer space.

Whether this is your first company volunteer event, or you’re a seasoned pro, Habitat provides a fun, easy and engaging experience. We’re in the business of building safe, affordable housing, and would love to work with you.

Research has shown that employees prefer to work for companies invested in charitable causes, and volunteering is a terrific way to facilitate that need at a relatively low cost to you.

A corporate build day can be reserved for 6-10 volunteers on a Wednesday, Friday or Saturday throughout the year.  Team builds start at 8:30 run till around 4:00.  We supply tools, safety gear, and the instruction to make your day productive, enjoyable, and safe, you supply the enthusiasm.
