Playhouse Build
A Hands-On Way to Honor Our Heroes
Join Us for a Day of Building, Bonding, and Giving Back
Knoxville Habitat for Humanity invites you to participate in our Playhouse Build—a unique, interactive event that brings together community members to create joyful playhouses for the children of military personnel and first responders, offering a full day of community engagement, fun activities and meaningful contributions to our Habitat for Heroes program.
What is the Playhouse Build?
The Playhouse Build is a hands-on event where teams of volunteers and sponsors come together to build and decorate playhouses for the children of military personnel and first responders. Each playhouse is a unique creation, reflecting the care and creativity of the builders, and is presented as a gift to the families as a symbol of our community’s gratitude.
All proceeds from the event support the Habitat for Heroes program, which provides affordable homeownership opportunities and essential home repairs to veterans and their families. By participating in the Playhouse Build, you’re not just constructing a playhouse—you’re helping build a better future for our local heroes.
