We did it again! This year's Habitat for Humanity Build Day was bigger than ever.
For the fifth year in a row, we've partnered with Habitat for Humanity to host build days where volunteers from across the company work together to help meet the urgent need for affordable housing in Chicagoland. Each year, we strive to expand the size and scope of this event, and on Friday, September 11, 2026, we reached a new milestone with our biggest build day yet.
At six build sites in Austin (Chicago), Glen Ellyn, Aurora, Joliet, Woodstock, and Waukegan, nearly 100 volunteers worked together with local Habitat for Humanity organizations to strip and replace siding, frame and install windows, install doors, construct a garage, paint, install flooring, and apply house wrap.

Build day is just one facet of how Baird & Warner gives back. In collaboration with the Chicago chapter of Habitat for Humanity, we've aligned on A Partnership for Good — a multi-year vision to strengthen communities from the ground up.
"I am so proud of our company and all of you for making giving back part of how we do business every day," said Lucy Baird, Baird & Warner's chief stewardship officer. We're delighted to see how this event continues to grow and to help even more people achieve their dream of homeownership.
