Give Back While You Get Away

Enriching journeys that give back to local communities along the way.

“A profound moment for me was visiting a woman we built a home for the previous year. To witness the difference in just one year, from the house we built and how they made it into a home. It was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.”
Joe BibaPresident, Creators Of Hope

“Getting a hug from the person we last built a house for. You could feel the energy of being grateful, and that's rewarding enough. Taking the time to actually go and build a house, take your vacation or personal time for the experience, that is more rewarding than anything else.”
Chris SchaeferDoctor - Pennsylvania

“My highlight was playing keep away with a young girl with the soccer ball I gave her. And seeing her have "tea and cookies" with one of us while braiding our hair... not mine because I have very short hair!!"”
Judy BusseWisconsin

“I could have just stayed at home and taken a week off, you know what I mean? But it sounded like a really great time... and I didn't expect to only have fun. We get to have fun while also doing something for other people who need it. This is very different than just holding a door open for someone to walk through, this is literally building a door for someone to walk through into their home.”
Colby SchaeferStudent - Pennsylvania
