Habitat for Humanity Lake County

#WomenBuild isn’t just about constructing a house—it’s about creating a strong foundation for families to thrive and transforming entire communities, one home at a time. By coming together, women (and allies!) are lifting each other up and making a lasting impact in Lake County.

We had an amazing first week of #WomenBuild, and are thrilled to share that our incredible Women Builders have already raised over $35,000 to support homeownership opportunities for women in our community! Even if you couldn't join us on-site this year, you can still make a meaningful impact. Join us by making a gift to the Habitat Lake County Women Build campaign and play a vital role in helping us to reach our $50,000 goal—your support will empower even more women in #LakeCounty to secure safe, affordable homes for their families! 💪🏠 Join the campaign: https://lnkd.in/gwuEqYU2 #LakeCountyIL #LakeCountyBusiness #LakeCountyGivesBack #Waukegan #WaukeganIL #WomenBuild2024 #HabitatforHumanity #HabitatBuild #EmployeeGiving #Volunteers #BuildDay #MondayMotivation #MotivationMonday #MondayMindset

A heartfelt thank you to Consumers Credit Union for their incredible support! Their crew came out to one of our build sites to cut and install styrofoam insulation for the outside walls and some interior portions of the home, along with nailing in wall plates for the interior walls. We are so grateful to local business partners who help us build more homes for families in #LakeCounty! #MondayMotivation #LakeCountyBusiness #CommunitySupport #ConsumersCreditUnion #HabitatForHumanity #AffordableHousing #BuildingHomes #HabitatBuildDay #CorporatePhilanthropy

From sponsoring homes to rolling up their sleeves on the build sites, Baxter International Inc. continues to be an incredible partner in our mission to create pathways to homeownership for more families in our community. Most recently, #Baxter volunteers joined us at one of our new build sites in #Waukegan to install fiberglass insulation—another step closer to making a safe, affordable home a reality for a local family. We are beyond grateful for their commitment and hands-on dedication! #BaxterGivesBack" #CorporatePartnership #CorporateGiving #CommunityImpact #LakeCountyIL #LakeCountyBusiness #WaukeganIL #HabitatforHumanity #HabitatforHumanity #HabitatBuildDay #HabitatPartner #CorporatePhilanthropy #AffordableHousing #Homeownership #HabitatLife #FeelGoodFriday #FridayFeeling

A huge thank you to Fortune Brands Innovations for their incredible, holistic support of our mission! From sponsoring homes to rolling up their sleeves on our build sites, their commitment to creating pathways to affordable homeownership has been a game-changer for families in our community. Most recently, their team put the finishing touches on one of our homes in #Waukegan, ensuring a local family can move in just in time for the holidays. #HabitatPartner #CorporatePartnership #CorporateGiving #FortuneBrands #CommunityImpact #Deerfield #LakeCountyIL #LakeCountyBusiness #WaukeganIL #HabitatforHumanity #FortuneBrandsCares

Thank you to The Lake County Community Foundation for organizing this terrific event for our community!

We are profoundly grateful to Schreiber Philanthropy for their recent grant to support our mission. This generous gift is a transformative investment in affordable homeownership and, most notably, our newly launched Critical Home Repair program. With their support, we look forward to expanding this vital program, allowing more individuals and families in Lake County to remain safely in their homes while also providing additional pathways to homeownership. Schreiber Philanthropy’s commitment to building better options for safe, affordable housing—particularly for those who have been historically denied access—is paving the way for a more inclusive and thriving community. With their support, we will continue to create opportunities for families to achieve the dream of homeownership, which empowers them to focus on education, career, and health, and lays the foundation for long-term success. Together, we’re making a lasting impact on our community, and building stronger, more vibrant neighborhoods where everyone has the chance to flourish! #Philanthropy #AffordableHousing #Homeownership #HabitatPartner #HabitatforHumanity #LakeCountyIL

We'll be there! Join our wonderful partner, The Lake County Community Foundation, as they bring together nonprofits from around Lake County for community members to learn more about board leadership opportunities.

We are so grateful to be able to count Fortune Brands Innovations amongst our most generous supporters. Thank you for making homeownership possible for more families in Lake County! 🏠 #corporatepartner

We invite your company to join us for Women Build 2024, happening from October 8 – 19. This unique event empowers women to take the lead in building affordable homes, directly contributing to a brighter future for our community. By focusing on homeownership for women, we're not just constructing houses—we're laying the foundation for stronger, more resilient communities. Why should your business or team get involved? Because when women achieve homeownership, it creates a ripple effect of empowerment, security, and opportunity for entire families. This is your chance to be part of something transformative. Whether you’re looking to sponsor, form a team, or encourage your colleagues to participate as individuals, this is an incredible opportunity to develop new skills, foster team collaboration, and make a meaningful impact.
