Austin Pride Build: Open Build Day
Saturday, October 31
2407 Towbridge Circle.
8am-4pm, RSVP on Facebook

For those ghouls hoping to do some good before a night of naughtiness, Austin Pride Build is in need of some extra hands for their Open Build Day. No previous construction experience is necessary but feel free to slip into that construction worker costume anyway. Just RSVP on Facebook and then hop in your monster mobile and head on over to 2407 Towbridge Circle this Saturday morning at 8AM.

Austin Pride Build has partnered with Habitat for Humanity for the third year to bring together Austin's LGBT community to build an affordable home for a local family in need. This year's beneficiary is named Kimberly and the goal is to have her home built before the end of the year. If you can't make it out to lift a hammer, or you're just not capable of nailing and screwing so early in the morning, you can still help out by making a donation. So far they have $59,500 of their $65,000 fundraising goal and every little bit helps.

The group will continue working on Kimberly's new home every Saturday until December 12, which gives you many more opportunities to volunteer. Become a fan of Austin Pride Build on Facebook or follow them on Twitter.
