Come and be a part of something awesome on August 10th as we join forces with Habitat for Humanity and the New Haven community. Join us on August 10th from 9:00 AM to 3:30 PM for a community build day in partnership with Habitat for Humanity! Habitat for Humanity is a non-profit organization dedicated to building safe and affordable housing for families with a need. During a build day, volunteers come together to assist with various construction tasks, such as framing, roofing, painting, and more. It’s a hands-on opportunity to make a tangible difference in our community while working alongside fellow MakeHaven members. All experience levels welcome and invited.


What to Expect: 
During this build day, you’ll have the chance to work side by side with fellow MakeHaven members as we tackle various construction tasks. Whether you’re a seasoned builder or new to the world of construction, there will be opportunities for everyone to lend a hand and learn valuable skills along the way. From framing walls to installing windows, every contribution helps to bring these homes one step closer to completion. 

How to Get Involved: 
Participation in this build day is completely free and open to all. However, please note that registration is required through the Habitat for Humanity website. Anyone 16 & 17yrs of age can join, so long as a guardian is also present.

Location/Parking Info: 
Please note the address for this site. When using Google Maps or Waze, please type in 129 Main Street Annex, New Haven. When using Apple Maps please enter 129 Main Street Annex, New Haven and hit search. DO NOT click on the 129 Main Street that populates in the search as it will bring you to a different Main Street in New Haven. There are three houses located right next to each other (123, 129, and 135 Main Street Annex) so the site is quite large and can be seen from the street. Parking for volunteers is on Huntington Street or another surrounding street. There is not parking right on Main Street Annex.
