A CUSTOM BUILD FOR... KIDS? By entering this local giveaway, in support of the Wisconsin Foster Closet, your little could be the proud owner of one of two custom-built playhouses (pictured) . 

A question your kid has probably never been asked: What’s your ideal home aesthetic? The Chippewa Valley Habitat For Humanity (CVH4H), JMG Builders and 715 Excavating have all but proposed that question, as they join forces for a playhouse giveaway.

Announced at the tail-end of April, the playhouse giveaway – to benefit the Wisconsin Foster Closet, Inc. – asks the community to consider tossing their name into the ring and support a good cause.

At $10/ticket, folks can enter to win the playhouse as many times as they wish, from now until June 13. That afternoon, a raffle drawing-style pull will determine the winner of each playhouse.

The custom-built playhouses – the "Modern Hideout" and "Classic Cottage" – aren't too far off from some of the builds people will see in this year's Parade of Homes event. (Consider the Modern Hideout's all-black exterior; the Classic Cottage's wood accents and front porch.)

"Every ticket purchased directly supports our efforts to provide essential items, comfort and dignity to children entering foster and kinship care," Wisconsin Foster Closet, Inc. shared online.

The winners of the playhouses – to be announced in June – can have them delivered, if located within 45 miles of Eau Claire. 

Raffle tickets to enter the playhouse giveaway can be purchased online or in-person at the Habitat for Humanity Restore in Eau Claire (145 N. Clairemont Ave.).

Enter the playhouse giveaway from now until June 13 online at www.wifostercloset.org/toy-house-2026. Want to check out the playhouses for yourself? See them on display at the Habitat for Humanity ReStore (145 N. Clairemont Ave., Eau Claire).
