Raise Your Hand Chicagoland was a Habitat for Humanity event which invited everyone in Chicagoland to raise their hand and join Habitat to transform families and communities.

The four day build event was located in downtown Chicago, adjacent to the Tribune Tower and included hundreds of volunteers who constructed wall frames for 13 homes. These were delivered to select Chicago area affiliates after the event. Raise Your Hand Chicagoland generated a huge awareness and fund raising that grossed over $1MM in contributions to support the building of homes for needy families in the Chicagoland area.

Our team's particular response to Hurricane Katrina was in the effort of rebuilding a total of 3 homes that were located in Moss Point, Mississippi. This area was very impoverished and many of the families had been displaced for years (not just months).
