Build for Unity 2025 Recap

Our 2025 Build for Unity event took place at our new 10-home development in Folsom.  Each nail hammered and wall raised brought our partner families closer to achieving their dream of homeownership with an affordable mortgage and 0% interest equivalent financing. Plus, our future homeowners work right alongside our volunteers, putting in 500 hours of sweat equity to help build their own homes!

Build for Unity brought together an incredible community of 155 volunteers and 11 generous sponsors to help build brighter futures! Thanks to your hard work and dedication, we framed homes, installed siding, cut windows, and completed essential site cleanup—totaling an incredible 1,085 volunteer hours! Your efforts, combined with the $34,284 raised, will have a lasting impact—helping families achieve safe, stable, and affordable homeownership.

We captured so many special moments—check out our full Google Photo Album here:

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who came out to build, unite, and support our mission of bringing people together to build homes, communities, and hope.

Build for Unity History

In 2016, Habitat for Humanity of Greater Sacramento hosted the inaugural Build for Unity event that gathered together individuals from various Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, Jewish, Sikh and other faith organizations to help fund and build Habitat homes as a symbolic gesture of interfaith unity.  Since that first-ever event in Sacramento, now over 30 cities across the U.S. host Build for Unity events during World Interfaith Harmony Week. This inspirational community event is an opportunity to join with people from throughout the region to create positive interfaith impact and support the mission of Habitat for Humanity to build affordable housing for low-income families in need of a decent and safe place to call home.
