The entire Habitat for Humanity community is deeply saddened by the passing of former U.S. First Lady Rosalynn Carter, who was a champion and strong voice for affordable, decent housing for all.

For more than three decades, she and President Jimmy Carter donated their time and leadership to Habitat each year to build and improve homes around the world. She died peacefully on Sunday at her home in Plains, Georgia, at the age of 96, with family by her side.

"Mrs. Carter has helped change the lives of thousands of homeowners, empowered countless women, and inspired millions of people. Over the years, she has blessed us with her compassion for serving others and commitment to improving housing conditions,” said Jonathan Reckford, CEO, Habitat for Humanity International.

Habitat for Humanity will be celebrating Mrs. Carter’s life of service with local observances. To learn more or to share a tribute, visit habitat.org.

Round of Applause for Westhaven!

10 build days, 200 volunteers, and over 1,000 volunteer hours! All we can say is WOW.

When The Westhaven Foundation and community members said they were all in to help fundraise and build a home, they put their whole heart into it!

We are blown away by how this community has gone above and beyond to offer a hand-up to The Bettis Family. We cannot wait to reveal all of their hard work at the upcoming dedication on December 9th!

Thank you to all of the Westhaven volunteers, in-kind sponsors, food donors, fundraisers, and so many more who made the dream of homeownership a reality.

Holy Family Catholic Church

Volunteers from Holy Family joined us this past weekend to help us get a TON of work completed!

We are blessed to have had them by our side and can't wait to build with them again soon!

Partner Panel Build

Volunteers of all ages came together to assemble panels for our Spring build season. In just four hours, they were able to put together panels for three homes! A big thank you to all of WellSprings volunteers and Crossroad Missionaries who managed th project.

Saint Peter's Episcopal

Our friends from St Peter's Episcopal Church and Holy Family joined forces to tackle our weekend to-do list. Thanks to these volunteers, we were able to build and paint the panels for two future sheds!

It was a huge feat for just one day's work, and they knocked it out of the park!

Saint Andrew Lutheran Church

Walls raised, roofs shingled, and two sheds completely built in one day thanks to the wonderful volunteers from Saint Andrew Lutheran Church!

The hard work and love they put into this project was felt across the entire build site and we are beyond blessed to have had their helping hands building with us!
