In December of 2021, 475 homes were destroyed in Bowling Green, Kentucky after EF-3 tornadoes hit the city. This further exacerbated the affordable housing crisis in the area but afforded Habitat for Humanity of Bowling Green / Warren County the opportunity to help rebuild the community through their ten-day Build Blitz last July.

We discussed:

• How Civic Champs was leveraged to facilitate the entire process from messaging to reporting
• Planning the Build Blitz in less than 6 months
• Recruitment strategies for connecting with 600+ volunteers
• Retention & engagement strategies (700% growth in sustained volunteer capacity)
• Tips and advice for planning your own Build Blitz!
