Greater Nashua Habitat for Humanity's 2nd Playhouse Project Build

Six colorful outdoor playhouses to inspire imaginative play were constructed as part of Greater Nashua Habitat for Humanity's Second Annual Playhouse Project Build. ‘Build crews’ of Greater Nashua Habitat for Humanity volunteers from both the corporate and nonprofit worlds constructed playhouses that the agency will raffle in the Spring. "Funds raised from this project will go toward our mission of providing homeownership opportunities to local families as well as critical home repairs to allow homeowners to stay safely in their homes," said Christa Tsechrintzis, Executive Director of Greater Nashua Habitat for Humanity.

Habitat’s building crew created pre-cut kits that each team assembled, painted, and decorated, in a space provided by Anheuser-Busch’s Biergarten. Starting at 9:00am and working through approximately 4:00pm, volunteers were busy building, while spectators stopped by to admire the projects.
"Being a part of the Playhouse Project created such a great team building opportunity for us! It was truly heartwarming to see the hard work and dedication put into each and every playhouse and knowing they were going to such a good cause was icing on the cake!" said Tanya Randolph, Ambassador of Philanthropy & Community Outreach for Great NH Restaurants, Inc.

Additional kudos came from Lisa Barton, who was part of the Alene Candles build team: "The day was amazing! Our team is still talking about it. It was a memorable experience."

This year's Sponsors and Build Teams included Great NH Restaurants, Inc., T Bones and Cactus Jacks Restaurant, T.J. McCarney, Inc., Alene Candles, LLC, Kimball Physics, and Atlantic Insurance, Viking Roofing built by Nashua Fire Rescue and the Nashua Lions Club. The teams brought their creativity to include themes such as a fire house, a restaurant, a circus, Super Mario Brothers, Minecraft, and even an undersea adventure. Additional sponsorship came from Delta Dental.

"Our Playhouse Project was huge success! Anheuser-Busch was the perfect venue for our event and was instrumental in helping the day run smoothly. The corporate teams put so much thought and effort into their designs and the results were incredible. They all worked together so well and had a great team building day. We are so thankful that they chose to spend their time supporting our mission," said Christa Tsechrintzis.
