Long Island Fundraiser Will Sell Beers To Help Build A House

MIDDLE ISLAND, NY — Bottom's up for a good cause.

Habitat for Humanity of Long Island will partner with local craft breweries, bars, and distilleries, selling craft brew and spirit cards to raise money to build more affordable homes in the region, as part of "The House Beer Built" campaign.

The money will help build a new affordable home in the summer of 2023 for a deserving family dubbed “The House Beer Built.” Representatives from each of the partnering establishments will join Habitat Long Island staff and volunteers to raise the walls on the home.

Organizers hope to sell up to 1,000 Craft Brew & Spirits Tour cards at $50 each, a $200-plus value, that patrons can redeem at over 20 local breweries and bars from Jan. 1 to Dec. 31, 2023. The card allows users to one free beer or drink at participating partners.

Partners include the Bluepoint Brewery, Bellport Brewing Company, Destination Unknown, Freedom Brewery, Peconic County Brewing, The Tap Room and The Village Idiot restaurant chains, Twin Forks, and many others.

All net proceeds will help Habitat’s mission of bringing communities together to help families build strength, stability, and self-reliance through shelter, according to officials. Craft Brew & Spirits cards can be purchased online at HabtitaLINY.org or at Long Island ReStore at 2111 Lakeland Avenue in Ronkonkoma.
