Lakes Area Habitat for Humanity

Raise a pint for a great cause! Join us for Pints for a Purpose at Jack Pine Brewery on Wednesday, September 16 from 4 to 8 PM.

We're teaming up with our CEO Build partners from the Biz-to-Biz networking group for an evening of good company and good beer, all supporting our mission to build strength, stability, and self-reliance through shelter here in the Lakes Area.

Stop by, grab a drink, and help us build a home.

Patrick from Jack Pine Brewery was one of our first business leaders to say "yes" to the CEO Build. Listen in as he talks about why you should, too.

Brainerd Lakes business leaders, this is your invite. Join the build at https://app.dvforms.net/api/dv/p6err1

We need you on Sunny's build site, and we need you now.

Monday we had minimal volunteers show up, which means slow progress on Sunny's home. This is a big house, and it takes many hands to raise it.

So here's the ask: grab a neighbor, a friend, your church group, your coworkers, and sign up for a shift. No experience needed, just a willingness to show up and help build strength, stability, and self-reliance for a family who needs it.

Sign up here by calling us at 218-828-8517 or emailing [email protected]
