Gwinnett/Walton Habitat for Humanity

We are thankful for having our partner Assurant out with us to help build James and Candea's house!

We had a great crew of volunteers from Assurant partner with us to help paint the interior of James & Candea's house this past Saturday!

Tameka and her family will soon have a better home and brighter future thanks in part to grant funding provided by Jackson EMC Foundation, funded by the contributions of the cooperative’s members! We were also blessed to welcome a team from Jackson EMC to help with interior painting and door installation!

🚗 In November 2004, the Cars for Homes staff accepted the first vehicle donated to Habitat for Humanity. Now, almost twenty years later, nearly 20,000 vehicles have been donated and more than $82 million has been transferred to Habitat affiliates across the country.

Congratulations to HFH of North Central Georgia, which received the highest amount of revenue from car donations to Habitat in FY24 ($61,933) and has also received the highest amount among Georgia affiliates life-to-date ($336,560). Congratulations, also, to four more Georgia affiliates that have received more than $200K life-to-date: HFH in Atlanta ($283,109), Northwest Metro Atlanta ($262,266), Gwinnett County HFH ($223,741), and HFH DeKalb ($216,245).

Thanks to all affiliates that have worked with us to develop car donations as a sustainable funding resource for your affiliate.

All the best,
Marcia

Happiness is all around as we celebrate the dedication of House 160 to our newest Habitat for Humanity homeowner, Stephanie, and her family! 🏠❤️

Stephanie spoke wonderful words during the Dedication:

🗣️ "I...thank everyone at Gwinnett/Walton Habitat for Humanity for this incredible moment in my life.

From phone calls, meetings, and classes to emails and hard, sweat-dripping build days, you have provided me with the opportunity and tools to become a successful homeowner, and for that, I thank you.

I'd also like to thank the sponsors of my home, Publix, and Atlas Collaborative.

Thank you for not only sponsoring my home, but helping build my home."
