The 2026 class of the Saratoga-Los Gatos Chapter of National Charity League (NCL) recently partnered with Habitat for Humanity East Bay/Silicon Valley to raise funds and construct custom-designed playhouses to donate to deserving local families. The project was part of NCL’s ongoing commitment to fostering leadership, philanthropy and community involvement among high school girls.
Over the past several months, the senior class fundraised to support their initiative, which served as their class’s senior project. The funds raised covered all construction materials and paint supplies for three playhouses, which were then built by the girls alongside Habitat for Humanity volunteers. The playhouses were delivered in July and August.
“This project was a perfect reflection of what NCL stands for—compassion, teamwork and service,” said Logan Larson. “Seeing the joy on the faces of the families who received the playhouses made all the hard work worth it.”
Each playhouse was custom-painted and decorated by the teens, offering a fun and safe space for children to explore, play and grow with a space of their own, while also supporting Habitat’s mission of bringing people together to build homes, communities and hope.
This collaboration marks another milestone in NCL’s years-long relationship with Habitat for Humanity. National Charity League, Inc. is a national nonprofit organization of mothers and daughters committed to community service, leadership development and cultural experiences. The Saratoga-Los Gatos Chapter has been serving their community since 1988.
Habitat for Humanity East Bay/Silicon Valley has been working with the communities of Alameda, Contra Costa and Santa Clara counties since 1986, advancing affordability and opportunity through housing. With the partnership of volunteers, supporters, advocates and clients, they prepare people for homeownership—and the transformative potential that comes with it.
