Creative Homes partnered with SOWASHCARESCO Cares and Basic Needs Thrift Shop to sponsor 10 families this holiday season acting as "Elves" to spread holiday cheer and make wishes come true! Our team members collected gifts based off of the wish lists provided from each family and spent last Friday afternoon wrapping all of the presents. It was time well spent as a team giving back to the community we are so proud to be a part of.
What is the Community Elves Holiday Help Program?
This program is set up to benefit families that may need help for the holidays in Washington County locations (including veterans in Dakota County). The program provides to parents and children that are identified by as being in the greatest need. Caring people from across our community and beyond are encouraged to participate. Anyone can become an Elf, individuals as well as members of families, office groups, and community organizations
How Does It Work?
We are working with the District 833 schools and Washington County staff to identify the families who are in greatest need. Those families are notified of the opportunity and are encouraged to submit their information on each family member via an online form. Staff at Basic Needs then distributes the profiles to individuals, families, or groups who want to sponsor a family or individual. Sponsors (Elves) purchase items, making sure that each family member receives an item on their list, wrap the items, and drop off the gifts at Basic Needs Thrift Shop.
At Creative Homes, giving back our time, money, and other resources is embedded into who we are. To do this, we partner with many different non-profits located around the Twin Cities. We believe it is important to give back to the communities that we serve. View some of our other organizations we give back to here.
We really had a great home building experience with Creative. Our home was completed on schedule and they worked closely with us on every aspect of the project. Our site supervisor was incredible – he was catching things before we even noticed them and had them remedied quickly and to our standards. Overall, we would highly recommend Creative and would build with them again in the future.
We had an exceptional experience with Creative Homes and would recommend them to anyone. Not only did we get a well-built home, but the customer service exceeded our expectations. From our first meeting, to well-after we closed on our new home, the Creative Homes team made us feel like we were family. We already know we want Creative Homes to build our next home (in many, many years)!
The Stoykes share their incredible experience with Creative Custom and walk you thorough their absolutely stunning home!
Our home turned out beautiful. I could go on and on but I will just add that I am extremely happy we chose Creative Homes as our builder and would definitely recommend them to anyone considering building a home!
