CEO Build: Sign Up Now!

Lakes Area Habitat for Humanity is partnering with 20 leaders in the Brainerd Lakes community to build a home. You read that right, a home.

Your commitment? Working with your employees, family, friends, and neighbors to raise $10,000 towards this build. With your donation, Habitat will provide you the opportunity to help build the home with your peers and your team. You’ll join me for the wall raising day and bring your team for a team-building day later in the build. We’ll also create a video for your business, highlighting your involvement with this build. Your name will be associated with one of the most recognized and respected non-profits in the world. It will be featured on the Lake Area Habitat CEO Build webpage, media releases, social media, and more.

Most importantly, you will be helping a family break the cycle of poverty!

What's Happening Now? Liz's Build!

Liz’s path hasn’t been easy. She fought her way through addiction and has been clean for years. The most difficult chapter came recently when medical challenges with her youngest kept her from working for nearly a year. Without the help of her sister and siblings, she says she would have been homeless. But today, Liz is thriving-she’s working a job she loves, surrounded by people who uplift and support her. “Things are finally working out as I had hoped. It was in God’s time, and I see that now.”

For Liz, a Habitat home represents so much more than shelter. It means peace of mind. It means freedom from the constant worry about health hazards and housing instability. Most importantly, it means she can give her children a solid foundation and a future filled with hope. “Honestly, this is my dream-and it’s coming true.”
