We remember. 🇺🇸

We honor the lives lost, the heroes who answered the call, and the families forever changed by September 11, 2001.

We will never forget.❤💙

The ladies of Pioneer Bank were such a huge help! They had a big day of aligning the final pieces and ensuring that concrete was poured in all the right places.

We are so glad you ladies had some fun mixed in with all of that hard work, and we can't wait to see you back at the build site for 2027!
Thank you for the endless support!

🏡 She Nailed It is still going strong, but we wanted to hop on here and share another project we've been working on!

Did you know Habitat doesn't only build brand-new homes? When the opportunity arises, we're also able to purchase past Habitat homes, give them new life, and prepare them for another local family to officially call home. 💙

And just like our new builds, it takes a community to make that happen.

Today, we want to give a special shoutout to Ian Carlstrom with Carlstrom Home Inspection LLC, who generously provided a thorough home inspection as an in-kind donation to our affiliate. Ian, thank you for sharing your time, expertise, and services with Habitat—we are incredibly grateful for your support!

Supporting Habitat doesn't always have to come in the form of a monetary donation. Donated materials, professional services, skilled trades, and time can make just as meaningful of an impact, helping us stretch our resources further and serve more families throughout South Central Minnesota.

Thank you!

She Nailed It - days 7 and 8!
If there is one thing SNI continues to prove, it's just how much can happen when a group of women shows up ready to WORK!

Last week, we moved to our veterans' build site in Eagle Lake while we waited for the concrete to dry in Nicollet. This is where our She Nailed It teams have been working together - one day and one row at a time.

Day 7: MEI-Total Elevator Solutions - Team 1
If there is one business that knows She Nailed It, it's MEI! These ladies are no strangers to our build sites. This marks their 6th year participating, and this year alone they're sending THREE teams our way! 👏

Picking up right where Web Construction left off, the MEI crew got straight to work laying more FoxBlocks and placing rebar throughout the foundation. By the end of the day, they had officially started the fourth and FINAL row of foundation blocks, setting up the next day's crew to bring it home.

There's something pretty special about watching one team pick up exactly where another left off. Different businesses, different women, different days. What a wonderful sight to see everyone working toward the same goal. 💙

🥪A huge shoutout to Buffalo Wild Wings Mankato. Bdubs has been a great supporter of She Nailed It. We thank you for keeping our ladies fed!

Day 8: Community Bank Mankato Area
And just like that... the final row is COMPLETE! 🎉🔨

Community Bank returned for their 4th year of She Nailed It, bringing a fantastic crew out to Eagle Lake to keep the momentum going. We are so thankful for their support, year after year! Such a fun group to work with. Their mission for the day? Finish what MEI started—and they did exactly that.

The ladies of Community Bank completed the fourth and final row of the foundation and even got a jump-start on the wall-straightening process, leaving the site ready to go for Monday's crew and for concrete to be poured.

It's hard to believe that just two build days earlier, Web WEB Construction, Inc. arrived to a foundation that was just getting started. Now, thanks to three teams of women working back-to-back, the foundation blocks are DONE.🙌

🥪 Lunch sponsor shoutout goes to the delicious Paglias Pizza of Mankato. I have a feeling some of the ladies may have wanted to take a nap afterwards, but they powered through! Paglias is a local favorite, and we cherish their support!

THIS is what it is ALL ABOUT!
One team starts it.
Another team builds on it.
And the next helps move it across the finish line.

No single group builds an entire Habitat home in one day—but every single group leaves the site having moved a family one step closer to homeownership.

To MEI-Total Elevator Solutions and Community Bank Mankato Area, thank you for continuing to show up for Habitat year after year. Your investment goes far beyond one day on a construction site, and we are incredibly grateful to have you building alongside us.

8 She Nailed It build days down... and we're not done yet! 🔨🏡
It has been a busy week! Stay tuned as we update on the incredible work of Pioneer Bank, Brown & Brown Insurance, and MEI-Total Elevator Solutions Team 2. Also, today wraps up week 3 as our CEO and Director of Development will join the ladies of Abdo Solutions at the build site.

🔨She Nailed It - The Progress Continues!

Another week of She Nailed It is in the books, and these women are making some serious strides! 💪🏠

One of our favorite parts of this event is watching each team pick up where the women before left off. One row, one wall, one pour, and one build day at a time, we're getting closer to the moment a local family gets to call these lots home.

Day 4: EI Microcircuits
Returning for their third year! EI Microcircuits wrapped up our first week of She Nailed It, and they certainly didn't slow down at the finish line! This team finished the foundation blocks and tackled a major job-site cleanup before calling it a day. Thanks to their hard work, the site was left in a great position for the next big milestone - concrete! 🔨

🥪A huge thank you to Boulder Taphouse for keeping this hardworking crew fueled! Lunch was an absolute delight.

Day 5: Brennan Companies
Year 4 & this team is no stranger to the She Nailed process. Kicking off week 2, Monday brought one of those classic construction days—hurry up and wait... and then GO! The Brennan Construction team finished preparations for the concrete pour, and once the pump truck and concrete trucks arrived, it was officially all hands on deck.
Our crew reported that everyone did a fantastic job and the pour went off without an issue. Another HUGE step forward for this Habitat home! 🏡

🥪Thank you to Atomic Star for treating our crew to lunch! Atomic went above and beyond to cater to dietary restrictions and a variety of options for these ladies.

Day 6: WEB Construction, Inc.
New day. New build site!🔨
With concrete recently poured in Nicollet, we kicked off day 6 by heading to our Veterans build site in Eagle Lake. Web Construction joined us for their FIRST She Nailed It experience, and they came ready to WORK. Starting the morning with essentially zero foundation complete, this team of four got the foundation HALFWAY DONE in a single build day!

This is what She Nailed It is all about—showing up, trying something new, working together, and getting your hands dirty for a pretty incredible reason.

🥪Thank you to Benedicts for fueling another fantastic build day! It was fun to switch up lunch to BRUNCH! A great dining spot if you're looking for delicious gluten-free options.

To every woman who has built with us, every business that not only donates but lets its employees participate, and every restaurant that has donated a meal to keep our crews going—THANK YOU.

Stay tuned... we've got plenty more She Nailed It to come! 🔨💙
Progress updates for MEI Team 1 and Community Bank Mankato Area are coming your way!

It was such a fantastic day welcoming the WEB Construction, Inc. team to our She Nailed It build site. Due to the hard work and dedication of teams 1-5 at our Nicollet home, Web Construction moved to our Veterans' Build in Eagle Lake and started from square one! They absolutely crushed it.

Stay tuned as we recap the last three teams. These women are moving us along, and we cannot wait to see the end results after 5 weeks!👏🏼

She Nailed It is officially underway!🔨

On August 17, we kicked off five weeks of welcoming incredible female leaders from across our community to the build site.

We are so grateful for the volunteers who give their time and the businesses that support their teams in stepping away for a day to help turn a plot of land into a place a family will call home.🏡

Day 1: We welcomed the FOCP BackPack Food Program to the build site for their first She Nailed It debut. The weather was perfect, with bright sunshine and maybe a touch of sunburn as a result. These ladies tackled an important challenge - laying the first row of FoxBlocks to begin building the foundation. If one thing is off, the entire house will be off. The FOCP was patient, hard-working, and consistently met their tasks. They went on to complete almost 2 entire rows!
A huge THANK YOU to the Wooden Spoon for fueling the team that helps feed our students through their backpack program.

Day 2: Countryside Refrigeration & Heating, LLC may be new to the She Nailed It experience, but this company is no stranger to rolling up their sleeves and volunteering with our crew. What a fun group; they were ready to jump in and get started. This team finished off row two of the Fox Blocks and set row 3. These lovely ladies enjoyed a delicious meal from our friends at Pub 500. Thank you for keeping them fed & happy!

Day 3: ISG Team 1 - There is something very special about this company, and we are forever grateful. They've shown up for our organization and have participated in She Nailed It 5 years in a row, typically with 2-3 teams! These women were having an absolute blast while making such great progress. Rows 3 and 4 of the FoxBlocks were set, rebar placed, and monkeys connected.
The fantastic lunch meal was provided by Ummie's Bar and Grill, with those Ummie's chips and dip.. an absolute staple.

Stay tuned for tomorrow's update as EI Microcircuits wrapped up week one!
"Every woman has the power to change the world."💙
