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.
If you are thinking about building a home with Creative do it! The entire process and team has been outstanding. Everyone warns you about how awful building a house is, with Creative it has been nothing but a turn key easy process. Their team is best in class.
Building a home with Creative is more than a process of building a house. Its the people you get to meet, work with and get to know along the way. And Creative knows the right people to have in the right position.
I cannot express how happy we are with the overall experience we have had with Creative Homes. Everyday my husband and I say “we love our house”. Everything from the flooring to the fixtures turned out better than we could have imagined. From the beginning to the end Creative was there for us every step of the way! We are so grateful to Creative Homes for building our dream home!
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.
