Community Builds
Giving back to our community.
We love to collaborate on as many community builds as we can each year. Do you have a project you need volunteer labor to support? Let us know! Are you someone who wants to volunteer at our next community projects? We look for both skilled and unskilled builders who want to help. Check out the list of the builds we are currently working on below!

Annual Builds
MLK Day Build

Observed on the third Monday in January every year, MLK Day is the only federal holiday specifically designated as a national day of service. In recognition of the legacy of Dr. King, we partner with local organizations to collaborate on projects that improve our community. We encourage all of our participants to volunteer with us in 2023.
Earth Day Build

The first Earth Day, celebrated in 1970 was proposed as a day to honor the Earth. Now each year, April 22 is celebrated internationally as the the anniversary of the modern environmental movement, and a reminder to protect our planet. We care about the Earth and the people on it, which is why we collaborate on a community project every year in observance of Earth Day. Join us in 2023 for a day to give back to our biggest supporter, the Earth.
“Helping other queers in need made my dyke heart and hands with drills and other tools sing.”
