Event Recaps
Veterans Build 2025
Veterans Build 2025 brought a powerful day of service as four dedicated corporate groups joined together to raise more than $25,500 in support of local veterans. Volunteers spent the day tearing down and rebuilding a garage, demoing a kitchen and back deck, and installing new flooring in the basement – essential repairs that strengthen safety, stability, and dignity for the homeowners. Veterans played an active role throughout the build, creating moments of connection, gratitude, and shared purpose. Thank you to every donor, sponsor, and volunteer who helped lift up those who have served.
The momentum created during Veterans Build 2025 continues to expand our mission to repair and build homes for veterans in need, ensuring those who dedicated their lives to service have a safe place to call home. Together, this community is shaping what stability, opportunity, and home can mean for those who have served our country.
Women Build 2025
Women Build 2025 brought two incredible weeks of impact, building walls for West Chicago, where 16 corporate groups and 10 peer-to-peer teams came together to raise more than $180,000. Volunteers built walls, shared meals, and created lasting memories, all while strengthening the path to homeownership for women-led families. Thank you to every donor, sponsor, and builder who helped raise hope and possibility through this year’s Women Build.
These walls will help lay the foundation for future families as we prepare to break ground in West Chicago in Spring 2026, carrying forward the momentum created by everyone who showed up to build. Together, this community is shaping what stability, opportunity, and home can look like for generations to come.
