Habitat For Humanity
Teambonding offers an innovative and exciting activity that allows corporate groups to give back to Habitat for Humanity and its new home beneficiaries. This is for companies that cannot travel or do not have a full day to donate to Habitat to build a home. This task-oriented activity calls on teams to use financial management, time management, and skills analysis to complete their tasks and earn the most money, while simultaneously designing and constructing home décor items for new Habitat homeowners that will soon move into their first homes. These gifts will be the first housewarming gifts families will receive, and will go a long way toward turning a beneficiary’s new house into a home!
This is a fun, competitive team building activity, involving a series of team-oriented challenges that result in the construction of mailboxes and birdhouses for donation to Habitat for Humanity. Teams of 10 will arrive at their tables to find a picture (if available) and last name of a family that will be benefiting from a Habitat home in the coming year.
teambonding is delighted to help support Habitat for Humanity with this innovative program and a cash donation per team. Your employee involvement also supports via a financial investment in its operations, ensuring that it can continue to provide homes to those in greatest need.

Experience
- “In the words of Maureen Clary, Executive Director of Habitat for Humanity – St. Tammany West: “Many of our homeowners lost everything they own during the hurricanes and are still living in substandard housing as they partner with us to build a new home. A personalized gift such as you are providing will be something our homeowners will cherish. It will remind them of the outpouring of support and concern from people all over the country as we rebuild our communities and our lives.”
