Group Build Days
Group Build Days are a great opportunity to involve your employees or fellow group members in a positive team-building activity. Your group will work alongside our construction team and partner families to help construct or rehab a home for a hardworking family in need of a safe and permanent place to live. We request volunteer groups make a tax-deductible donation to help cover construction costs of preparation and materials to make sure that your build day is a success:
Company Team Building
In today’s competitive job market more and more businesses are seeing the short and long-term benefits to engaging their employees in volunteer work.
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. It is especially important to the Millennial generation, born approximately 1980-2000, which is the second largest outside of the Baby Boomers and is now entering the workforce in droves.
Whether you’re seasoned pros or have never lifted a tool, DuPage Habitat offers a fun, easy, and hands-on team building opportunity for companies. Strengthen your team on one of our construction sites or Habitat ReStores as we challenge them to communicate and work together to help build a tangible outcome: a home for a family in need of decent and affordable housing.
Employees return to the workplace motivated, connected, and inspired. We provide all the tools, materials, and training — you just provide a tax-deductible donation and the helping hands!
Why team build with DuPage and Chicago South Suburbs Habitat for Humanity?
- Learn about your employees on a more personal level.
- Break down the hierarchy walls of traditional corporate structure.
- Assist in projects that provide a better future for other individuals.
- Provide a deeper connection to the area around you.

Maybe you’ve already spent money on ropes courses, picnics or retreats, and those all certainly have their place. We believe it’s also valuable to invest time with your employees in meaningful work that will not only have an impact on them, but on the people they help for years to come.

Community and Faith-Based Group Building
Building strong, safe and stable communities isn’t something that we can do alone. It takes a village to build the foundation for success and we need you and your resources to help get there. Whether you’re a school, campus chapter, Rotary, Lions, or another community group, we honor the work that you are doing to make our community stronger and value a partnership that would allow both of our organizations to increase our reach and impact. Together we can do great things. With your organization’s support we can build a world where everyone has a decent place to call home.
We also welcome members of every faith to join us in putting our faith into action by putting our own blessings to work for some of the most vulnerable members of our community. Whether you are Christian, Muslim, Jewish, Hindu, or Buddhist, we are each connected by the idea that we are all our brothers’ and sisters’ keepers.
