Choose your Home Creation Date with Home@ASenseofHome.org
Select a Thursday/Friday/Saturday at 11AM
Select your own 12-20 member team.
In the days leading up to the Home Creation, you will receive the recipient’s story including their goals & favorite things (colors, animals, hobbies, etc.). You are more than welcome to bring gifts inspired by their bio. You will install over 330 items to make their space a home. If you choose to bring a gift select something that has been meaning to you & share the story of its importance in your life.
Home Creation starts at 11AM and ends at 12:30PM! But you may feel inclined to linger as you eat and chat with the recipient. Lunch and refreshments provided. Refreshments and breakfast pastries are also served. Please wear closed-toed shoes & come ready to wear a new courtesy ASOH t-shirt!
You will create a beautiful home within only 90 minutes!
Sign up to receive email alerts of when there is a space available at a Home Creation. When receiving such an alert it is best to respond right away to ensure your place and join other volunteers to Create a Home. All other Home Creations are sponsored thanks to an $8k donation by a team, whether it is a group of family and friends, colleagues, or a design team.
Join us at our warehouse building furniture, organizing donations, and creating kits for new homes!

Our commitment to former foster youth doesn’t end after a home is created. Through ongoing Alumni Events, we build lasting community, offer continued resources, and create moments of joy, connection, and empowerment.
From career development workshops and wellness sessions to holiday gatherings and community meals, these events give ASOH alumni the opportunity to grow, give back, and stay supported.
