Clayton Home Building Group Sponsors Knoxville Habitat for Humanity's Inaugural Playhouse Build

MARYVILLE, Tenn., Dec. 12, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Clayton Home Building Group®, a division of Clayton and a Berkshire Hathaway company, recently partnered with Knoxville Habitat for Humanity to launch their inaugural Playhouse Build and donated a playhouse to a local family.

Over 30 team members from Clayton's TRU® Halls home building facility volunteered on Nov. 17 for the weekend Playhouse Build for new Clayton homeowners, the Glenn family. The construction was part of the Knoxville Habitat Playhouse Build, which is a collaborative effort of local corporations, the Knoxville community and volunteers to build and donate playhouses to local families or organizations. The Clayton Built® playhouse was the first constructed for the organization's Knoxville affiliate.

"The Knoxville Habitat Playhouse Build is an excellent way to bless a family or group of children of the sponsor's choice, while also helping the hardworking families in our program," said Knoxville Habitat for Humanity President/CEO, Kelle Shultz. "Like Knoxville Habitat, Clayton understands the importance of homeownership, and we are grateful for their generous support and teamwork that made our first Playhouse Build so successful."

Corporate sponsors donate monetarily to participate in the Playhouse Build Program, which raises funds and awareness to support Knoxville Habitat for Humanity's main focus of helping local families in need of affordable housing. The organization also partnered with Knox County Schools to build kits for the playhouses. Gibbs High School students built the TRU® Halls playhouse kit.
