Habitat Catawba Valley Mourns the Passing of Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter
It is with profound sadness that we at Habitat for Humanity Catawba Valley mourn the passing of former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, who died peacefully on December 29, 2024, at the age of 100.
President Carter started volunteering with Habitat for Humanity in 1984 and continued until his health required him to stop in 2019 at the age of 95. Through the annual weeklong Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter Work project more than 4,390 homes on four continents were built for low-income families. His unwavering dedication to affordable housing and his hands-on involvement with Habitat for Humanity have been a beacon of hope and inspiration to communities worldwide. His legacy of service and compassion has touched countless lives, including many here in the Catawba Valley.
In honor of President Carter’s remarkable contributions and to allow our team to pay their respects, Habitat for Humanity Catawba Valley will be closed on Thursday, January 9, 2025, coinciding with his state funeral and the national day of mourning.
We appreciate your understanding during this time of reflection and remembrance. As we continue our mission, we remain inspired by President Carter’s enduring commitment to building a world where everyone has a decent place to live.
You can join us in building President Carter’s legacy of homes, communities, and hope:
