Meet the Families Receiving a Playhouse

Teams will build and decorate custom playhouses for 8+ local families with children. These playhouses provide a special space for them to play, imagine, and grow! Learn more about the families who will receive these one-of-a-kind playhouses at dekalbhabitat.org/bbb.

New Home Build in Stone Mountain, GA

Thanks to a generous $125,000 "Raise the Roof" gift from Publix Super Market Charities as our lead sponsor, we’re off to a strong start. However, rising costs for materials and labor mean we still need additional support to complete this build.

Visit dekalbhabitat.org/sponsor or reach out to Scott Rawles, our Development Director, at [email protected] for details.
