Building Dreams: Teamwork Commerce Partners with Habitat for Humanity

At Teamwork Commerce, we believe in the power of collaboration and community support. That’s why we’re excited to share our recent partnership with Habitat for Humanity during National Volunteer Week. On Saturday, April 20th, our team had the privilege of joining forces with Habitat for Humanity to help finalize two new homes for families in need in the Pinellas County area.

One of the families we had the honor of supporting is Denise Cookinson and her 12-year-old son, Grayson. Denise’s journey with Habitat for Humanity is a testament to the transformative impact of stable housing. She shared, “My life now will be greater, and I will be achieving more goals, knowing that I have stability not only in a house but in a home.”

This sentiment resonates deeply with us at Teamwork Commerce. We believe that everyone deserves a safe and stable place to call home, and we’re proud to be part of initiatives that make that dream a reality.

Another family we are privileged to assist is Ashley Skelton, a single mother of three children, on her journey towards homeownership with Habitat for Humanity. Ashley dreams of having a home where her family can enjoy activities together without worrying about safety or privacy. She emphasized the importance of community support, saying, “Habitat has been such a blessing, and the staff is phenomenal.”

Each family who partners with Habitat completes a certain number of hours of sweat equity — typically between 200 and 400 — before move-in day. Often, any adult member can contribute to this total; sometimes volunteers can also help out. Each Teamwork Commerce volunteer donated their “sweat equity” from the day to the recipients of Habitat for Humanity. 

Our partnership with Habitat for Humanity reflects our commitment to social impact and community building. We believe that by working together, we can create lasting change and help families build brighter futures.

If you’re interested in supporting Habitat for Humanity or getting involved in similar initiatives, we encourage you to visit their website and learn more about how you can make a difference.

Together, we can build dreams and create homes where families can thrive.

We chose this project for Teamwork Cares because housing is a basic human need and stable housing provides a foundation for individuals and families to build their lives.  It supports education, employment, and community engagement, leading to long-term stability and prosperity.
