Donation supports Habitat for Humanity’s ‘2026 Operation Playhouse’ project for veteran families

Cornerstone Bank team at the 2026 Operation Playhouse build

Cornerstone Bank donated $6,000 to Habitat for Humanity MetroWest/Greater Worcester to support the 2026 Operation Playhouse Build-A-Thon, which took place Thursday, June 4, at Elm Park in Worcester.

The contribution marks the ninth consecutive year Cornerstone Bank has donated to the initiative. In addition to the financial support, bank employees participated in the event as part of an annual volunteer day.

During the Build-A-Thon, teams of eight to ten volunteers came together to construct custom playhouses for children of veteran and military families. Each structure was designed around a theme selected by the recipient family and was completed in a single day with guidance from Habitat staff and trained volunteers.

“This event brought together teamwork, creativity and community impact in a very meaningful way,” said Todd Tallman, CEO of Cornerstone Bank. “Our employees look forward to this volunteer day each year and have taken great pride in building something special for local families who have served our country.”

Funds raised through Operation Playhouse support Habitat for Humanity MetroWest/Greater Worcester’s broader mission to provide safe, decent and affordable housing across the 42 cities and towns it serves.
