Eating dinner at a table. Being able to host a birthday party.

These are not outrageous dreams. They are reasons why we need framing help next week at Trey & Laura’s home in Brainerd!

We need 20 volunteers per shift, Tuesday through Saturday. Our goal: dry in the house by Thanksgiving!

Home is starting to feel real! 🏡💙

Partner family Amy and her kids recently visited the Baxter lot where their Habitat home will be built, and it was love at first sight.

“The kids and I went to see the lot in Baxter and they fell in love. And are looking forward to making many memories here.”

We can’t wait to build alongside Amy and her family and watch this empty lot become the place where those memories are made. Welcome to the neighborhood, Amy! 🎉

We believe in the power of community. Thanks to a generous grant from the CenterPoint Energy Foundation, we’re able to do even more to create a brighter tomorrow.

This funding allows us to deepen our impact and reach more lives by supporting the students at Brainerd High School building a home with out community.

Every dollar is a step toward a future where affordable housing is within reach for families in Cass, Crow Wing, Hubbard, and Wadena counties.

We’re grateful and ready to keep working toward a better tomorrow. Learn more about the difference our work makes: lahfh.org.

Two reasons to celebrate Kevin this week! 🎉

On November 1, our Executive Director Kevin Pelkey marked 29 years with Habitat for Humanity. And he celebrates his birthday ths week, too!

For nearly three decades, Kevin has poured his heart into this mission: building homes, building partnerships, and building a stronger Lakes Area one family at a time. Countless families in our communities have a place to call home because of his leadership, his dedication, and his willingness to roll up his sleeves alongside them.

Happy Habitat anniversary and happy birthday, Kevin! Drop your birthday wishes and favorite Kevin memories below. 👇💙

You’re invited! 🏡 On Tuesday, November 10, we’ll gather at Trey & Laura’s future home in Brainerd for a site blessing at 8:00 a.m., followed by the start of framing at 8:30.

This is the moment the walls go up and a dream starts to take shape. Join us to celebrate with Trey, Laura, and their boys, and then grab a hammer if you can.

What a night! 🥂 Thank you to everyone who joined us at The Lodge at Brainerd Lakes for the 2nd Annual Raise a Glass, Raise a Wall. The music, the cocktails, the conversation, and most of all, the generosity in that room were something special.

Every ticket, every sponsorship, and every toast helps put a safe, affordable home within reach for a local family. A huge thank you to our partners at Brainerd Area Women of Today, our sponsors, our volunteers, and every one of you who came out to celebrate with us.

We’re already counting down to next year. Cheers to building together! 🏡💙
