12th Annual Gingerbread Build
Save the date for the 12th annual Gingerbread Build, a week-long build-at-home event with a public award ceremony! By building small (gingerbread) homes from the comfort of YOUR home, you’re supporting the construction of real homes with low income families in Hampshire & Franklin counties.
Here are all the important details:
- For a donation of $100, register your team.
- Gingerbread kits will be available on distribution day, Saturday December 7th from 10am-noon at the Easthampton River Valley Coop. We will supply the six gingerbread house walls and roof pieces and a bag of frosting mortar, you add any other building materials you wish.
- You must use all six pieces of gingerbread we supply to be entered in the contest. Your team’s collective imagination is the only limit when it comes to decorating your masterpiece.
- Submit 3 photos to gingerbread@pvhabitat.org by midnight Thursday December 12th. Include your team name in the submission photos but no personal information (photos will be posted on Facebook).
