Our Pride is Growing
At Habitat, we believe everyone deserves a decent place to live. In 2024, Richmond Habitat proudly continues the PRIDE Build which began in 2023 – a successful Richmond Habitat Build launch with:
- 19 Sponsors
- 250+ volunteers
- 30 Build days
- Two townhouses – now nearly complete for two families in need
We invite members of the LGBTQ+ community and their allies to help us build again. Habitat’s PRIDE Build focuses on our hope to create an inclusive Richmond community where every individual and family has the opportunity to obtain fair and equitable housing – and where LGBTQ+ individuals and their allies know they are welcome to volunteer and build our community.
In conducting a PRIDE Build, we join dozens of Habitat for Humanity affiliates across the U.S. who have added this program as a fun way for members and supporters of LGBTQ+ communities to come together to celebrate diversity in our region, learn new skills and make an important statement about the fundamental human right of a safe, decent, affordable place to live for everyone.
Let’s Build!
Plans are being made for the 2024 PRIDE Build to begin in mid-summer and continue through the fall. Our build sites are user-friendly and led by professionals that patiently train and guide volunteers through all phases of construction. You will come away from your build experience feeling empowered with new skills – knowing you brought a Habitat partner family one step closer to achieving their dream of home ownership. Learn more about volunteering at the construction site at richmondhabitat.org/volunteer.
2024 Sponsor Information
Richmond Metropolitan Habitat for Humanity has worked to achieve its vision through partnerships with businesses, foundations, faith and civic organizations, individual donors and volunteers. All these work to help us defray the cost of homes through donated materials, labor, construction and funds for land and infrastructure. Our PRIDE Build will continue this work through partnerships that further our mission due to their commitment to diversity and leadership in our community in supporting the needs of affordable housing for all.
Sponsorship includes recognition on our website (see 2023 sponsors below), build-site banner and signage at PRIDE Build events. Sponsor volunteer participants receive PRIDE Build t-shirts (with logos) and lunch on site the day of their build experience.
