Giving Tuesday saw a heartwarming spectacle in downtown Sacramento as nearly 100 volunteers transformed a warehouse into a vibrant playhouse-making workshop. Spearheaded by Habitat for Humanity, this inaugural Playhouse Jingle Build brought community members together to design and build custom playhouses for local children. Every colorful structure was crafted with unique themes and details chosen directly by the kids, ensuring a special personal touch.
These playhouses aren’t just miniature homes; they’re symbols of hope and belonging for children who have already stepped into their new houses thanks to Habitat’s efforts. Kimberly Coley, a representative from Habitat for Humanity, poignantly noted that for many of these kids, receiving a playhouse is their first taste of homeownership—a reminder that they are valued members of the community.
The event took place from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., and these delightful structures are set to be delivered to 14 Habitat families next weekend. Organizers hope that this joyous collaboration will become an annual tradition, celebrating generosity and creativity while making the holiday season a little more magical. After all, who wouldn’t want to relive their childhood dreams of having the coolest playhouse on the block?
