Kleinfelder’s Mount Dora, FL office joins Habitat for Humanity’s Jingle Build-Off to support families in need
Kleinfelder’s Mount Dora staff — including Lisa Daugherty, Alexis Seecharan, Connie Campbell-Grady, Narongsak Lawrence, Noah Poloniecki, Mikaela Morolla, Shannon Rolfe, Ava Gomez, and Cassie Rios — recently took part in the annual Habitat for Humanity Lake-Sumter Jingle Build-Off, an event that combines creativity and community impact. The competition invites teams to design and construct playhouses for children, with entry fees and additional funds supporting Habitat for Humanity’s mission to provide affordable housing solutions in Lake and Sumter counties.
Each team in the Jingle Build-Off is matched with a family and provided details about the child’s interests to inspire their design. The Kleinfelder team was paired with a little girl who loves all things Barbie, so the team went full pink, purple, and flowers to stay on theme. The personalized playhouses are then gifted to families in need just in time for the holidays, bringing joy to children while supporting Habitat for Humanity’s mission.
In addition to building playhouses, the event included an online fundraising competition. Votes for the best playhouse were $1 each, with all proceeds benefiting Habitat for Humanity. The Kleinfelder team’s playhouse was among the top five, with 166 votes. The total raised as part of this year’s Jingle Build-Off was $106,952.81.
