More Than a Team Event

This is a structured, high-impact experience where you team builds essential kits for people transitioning out of homelessness-creating measurable impact and walking away with meaningful connection.

Why It Matters

A key to the door isn't enough to make it home

When someone moves into permanent supportive housing after experiencing homelessness, they often arrive to a completely empty apartment, no dishes, no bedding, no basic supplies. Houseware kits fill that gap, turning four bare walls into a space that feels livable from day one.

Build Essential Kits

Your team assembles houseware kits filled with everything someone needs to turn an empty space into a livable home.

Meaningful Connection

Go beyond surface-level team events. Collaborate on something your team will remember and talk about for years.

Mearurable Impact

Every kit makes a direct, trackable difference. You'll know exactly who you helped and how.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many people can participate?

Our experiences are designed to flex with your group. Whether you're bringing together a small leadership team of 10 or a company-wide event of 500+, we'll tailor the format, pacing, and kit quantities to match. Reach out and we'll find the right setup for your group size.

Can we customize the experience for our company or event theme?

Absolutely. From branded packaging to specific charitable recipients that align with your company's mission, we love making each experience feel like it was built just for you. Let us know your vision and we'll make it happen.

Where do LSE experiences take place?

LSE experiences are fully mobile, we ship everything needed to your office, event venue, conference space, or offsite location. If you have a space that can hold your group, we can make it work.

For smaller groups in the Phoenix area, we also welcome you to join us at our warehouse. It's a great way to get a behind-the-scenes look at how everything comes together, and adds an extra layer of meaning to the experience. Reach out to find out if this option is available for your group.

Who receives the items our team assembles?

Every kit built during your experience is donated to a vetted nonprofit or community organization on your company's behalf. After your event, we provide an impact summary so you can see exactly where your team's work went and who it helped, something worth sharing with your people.

What if a partner organization isn't able to provide impact data?

The donation always happens, that's a commitment we don't waver on. Every kit your team builds finds its way to someone who needs it.

Impact summaries, however, depend on our partner organizations having the capacity to track and report that information. In the rare case that a partner isn't able to fulfill those requirements, we'll do one of two things: find an alternative partner who can, or reach out to you directly, document what was donated to the best of our ability, and be transparent about what we were and weren't able to capture.

We believe honesty is part of the experience too, and we'll always keep you in the loop.

Does our company receive a charitable donation receipt?

Because your investment covers a full-service experience, including facilitation, materials, and logistics, it is structured as a business purchase rather than a direct charitable contribution. This means it's best documented as a business expense, such as team building, marketing, or employee engagement, rather than a charitable deduction.

We recommend working with your tax advisor to determine the best way to categorize it for your organization. What we do provide is a detailed impact summary showing exactly what was donated and the community your team supported, something meaningful for internal reporting or sharing with your stakeholders.

How far in advance do we need to book?

We recommend booking at least 3–4 weeks in advance to ensure we can secure your date, customize your experience, and prepare the right number of kits. That said, we do our best to accommodate last-minute requests, don't hesitate to reach out even if your timeline is tight.

Ready to make an impact?

Whether you need kits for your community or want to fund the work, we'll get you started in minutes.
