In a heartwarming display of community spirit, a design studio in Egg Harbor, Wisconsin, has kicked off a raffle to support the furnishing of a new home built by Habitat for Humanity in Door County. This initiative not only aims to provide comfort and style to the residents but also highlights a collaborative effort to improve living conditions for families in need. Isn’t it inspiring to see how communities can come together for a cause like this?
Community Engagement and Fundraising Efforts
Designworks, the design studio at the forefront of this initiative, is stepping up to help furnish Habitat for Humanity’s 50th home—a significant milestone for the organization. Recently, a groundbreaking ceremony was held for the future residence of the Bridget and Dean Ferron family, marking an exciting new chapter for them in Sturgeon Bay.
To raise the funds necessary for this noble cause, Designworks has launched a raffle where participants can purchase tickets through the end of August. Every penny from this raffle will go directly toward furnishing the new Habitat home. And there’s a twist! Participants have the chance to win either a luxurious MotionCraft genuine leather recliner, valued at $3,750, or a $1,000 gift certificate to the Designworks store. It’s a unique opportunity to contribute while also having a shot at some great prizes!
This moment is truly pivotal for Designworks. Co-owner Polly Helm expressed her enthusiasm, noting that while the studio has collaborated with nonprofit organizations before, this is their first venture into furnishing a home. “This project has always been a cherished goal for our team,” Helm shared. Doesn’t it feel good to turn aspirations into reality?
Designing a Warm and Welcoming Home
Lindsey Penning, the project manager and designer at Designworks, shed light on the vision driving this initiative. The primary focus will be the main living area, where they plan to introduce furniture, accessories, and perhaps even art and decor to create a cozy and inviting environment. And if they manage to raise even more funds, there could be opportunities to enhance the bedrooms and other areas of the home—talk about a holistic approach to home design!
Penning beautifully articulated the essence of this collaboration, saying, “This collaboration is about more than furniture. It’s about creating a warm, welcoming space that turns a house into a home.” This sentiment perfectly encapsulates the mission of not just filling a house with items but crafting a nurturing environment where families can truly thrive. Who wouldn’t want to be part of something so meaningful?
Community Events and Continued Support
To further amplify community involvement, Designworks, in partnership with Door Habitat, will host a brat fry during the Egg Harbor Sidewalk Sale Days on August 23. This event will take place in the parking lot shared with their sister company, Door County Nature Works, fostering a sense of community engagement and support for the Habitat mission. It’s a great way to enjoy some good food while supporting a wonderful cause!
But that’s not all! The team will also be present at select Sunset Concert Series shows on Sunday nights at the outdoor Peg Egan Performing Arts Center, creating more opportunities for local residents to engage with this initiative and contribute to the cause.
Raffle tickets are available for just $20 each or six for $100, making it easy for community members to get involved in this meaningful effort. The drawing for the raffle will take place on September 1, with all proceeds going toward the goal of furnishing the new home. It’s an accessible way to make a difference, don’t you think?
As this community-driven initiative unfolds, it beautifully exemplifies the power of collaboration and collective effort in transforming lives. By coming together, residents can ensure that the Ferron family—and others like them—have a place that truly feels like home. Isn’t that what community is all about?
