Raise Your Hand Chicagoland

From May 29 through June 1, Chicagoland Habitat for Humanity will hold a building blitz in the heart of downtown Chicago. "Raise Your Hand Chicagoland" volunteers will come together with partner families to complete initial construction of 13 homes. 

Immediately following, these new homes will be taken into communities across the region, where they will be finished and become places 13 deserving area families can call their own. Those across the area are invited to attend "Raise Your Hand Chicagoland" to tour a Habitat home, participate in family-friendly activities and learn more about Habitat for Humanity in Chicagoland, including future volunteer opportunities. 

Chicagoans can also show their support virtually using #RYHC and following Habitat for Humanity on Facebook and Twitter (@ChicagoHabitat).
