bringing it home
your support is creating
holiday magic
Melissa hosted family and friends for her first Christmas dinner in her new Habitat home. Your support of Habitat Catawba Valley helps make dreams like this come true.
“Christmas 2023 was magical in our new home. We had lots of fun decorating inside and out. I’ve spent a decade in someone else’s space, now I have something that is really my own”
New Christmas Traditions
For years, Melissa would open presents at her mom’s house on Christmas morning. While this was an enjoyable time for many reasons, she still yearned for the opportunity to carve out her own sense of holiday. As her journey through recovery and the Habitat homeownership program progressed to its conclusion in 2023, her dreams turned into reality. Now, her new tradition is Christmas Eve dinner in her new home, hosting all four of her children, two grandbabies, and her parents. No presents. Just food and togetherness. Without financial support from our community members, opportunities like this will not exist.
New 2024 Homeowners
For the 2024 Christmas season, 8 new Habitat homeowners will be stringing lights, putting up Christmas trees, hosting family dinners, and wrapping gifts for their kids in their new Habitat homes. When you choose to support Habitat Catawba Valley monthly as a Hopebuilder, you allow us to better serve the community, creating more opportunities for affordable homeownership in Catawba County.
