Building Hope: Appleton Creative Volunteers with Habitat for Humanity’s Operation Playhouse

At Appleton, we use our creativity for more than campaigns; we strive to strengthen our community. Recently, our team stepped out of our big yellow house to help build a smaller one by participating in Habitat for Humanity’s Playhouse Program. The initiative supports local children and families by providing custom-themed, well-constructed playhouses that encourage safe imaginative play.

Habitat For Humanity

Habitat for Humanity is a global nonprofit dedicated to ensuring everyone has a decent place to live. Through affordable home construction, housing advocacy and educational programs, Habitat for Humanity empowers families to achieve stability and independence. In 2023 alone, more than 3 million people improved their housing through Habitat for Humanity’s global support. The Orlando/Osceola chapter recently rolled out the Operation Playhouse Program, which was a natural fit for Appleton’s creative talents.

A Lasting Impact

Appleton has a longstanding relationship with Habitat for Humanity, having supported the organization through several Women Build events and providing expertly crafted custom marketing materials. The opportunity to bring a playhouse to life gave our team a new way to contribute. Our team was energized by the opportunity to bring a playhouse to life; the hands-on process encouraged us to collaborate in new ways while exercising the creative muscles we use every day. The finished playhouse, bright yellow and bold black, reflects Appleton’s commitment to community impact and passion for inspiring through creativity.

The Operation Playhouse Program creates values that goes well beyond the playhouses themselves. For children and families, these playhouses are safe spaces for imagination and play; for volunteers, the program shows how just a few hours of teamwork and creativity can make create lasting impact. For Appleton, the experience reinforced that the creativity we bring to our client partnerships and community projects have the power to build connections and inspire positive change.
