Habitat for Humanity MetroWest/Greater Worcester

08/28/2026

To become homeowners through Habitat for Humanity MetroWest/Greater Worcester, selected families contribute 300 sweat-equity hours by building homes, volunteering at our ReStores, or in our office. This partnership requires a shared commitment of our core values and community spirit. 🫶
“We learned so much about building, maintaining, and keeping a home safe. We also met some amazing people along the way who became part of our journey. Looking back, the sweat equity wasn’t just something we had to complete it was something that prepared us for the responsibility of owning a home.” ~Habitat for Humanity MetroWest/Greater Worcester Homeowner

We’re saluting the team at Mapfre Insurance for stepping up and sponsoring this Patriotic-themed playhouse for a local military family. Your creativity shone brightly in this craftsmanship of this playhouse. Thank you for bringing your energy and vision to this special day! ❤🏰

“At the Operation Playhouse build, a team of volunteers spent the day bringing a patriotic-themed playhouse to life for the children of a local military family—painting, assembling, roofing, and adding the final touches that turned it into a space full of imagination, pride, and joy. Meeting the family and seeing the excitement firsthand made every moment of effort worth it. ~Samantha Suss, HR Generalist Senior, Mapfre Insurance

➡Operation Playhouse is a one-day charitable program that encourages team building, cooperation and camaraderie among groups, while honoring local military service people with a free custom-built playhouse.

As we embark on the new school year, let's not forget the crucial role a safe and stable home plays in a child's overall well-being.
Our Habitat homeowner applicants are living in overcrowded or unsafe conditions, economically disadvantaged, and facing financial strain while trying to make ends meet. This leads to stress, instability, and uncertainty for their children.
🚗When you donate your car or unused vehicle through our Cars for Homes program, you're funding our affordable housing programs across 43 cities and towns in our community and helping create a secure environment where children can thrive academically and emotionally.
🚙Turn your unused vehicle into hope for a local family by donating it through the Cars for Homes program. Learn more about our Cars for Homes program at www.habitatmwgw.org/get-involved/cars-for-homes/

Big thanks to Colantonio for bringing their positive energy, hard work, and willingness to take on the tough jobs. Together, we build with Women Build! ❤🏠
