Events

We are filled with immense gratitude for the remarkable support we received from everyone in our local community. Their dedication and generosity have made it possible for us to continue our mission of providing safe and affordable housing to those in need. Whether it is through volunteering their time, making financial contributions, advocating for our cause, or doing some fun activity for fundraising, the people of Anderson County have demonstrated their commitment to building affordable housing and community. With every act of kindness and support, we are able to make a tangible difference in the lives of families and individuals, creating a ripple effect of positive change throughout our community. We extend our heartfelt appreciation to all of the individuals who have shown their belief in our mission, as their support is fundamental to our ongoing success.

Outside of our special builds, we hosted the annual dinner and participated in four events in the Anderson area: The cardboard boat race, Dancing for our Heroes, Lights of Hope and the Michelin golf tournament. These events are always fun and help Habitat raise money for affordable housing! For Dancing for Our Heroes, we thank Matt and Sarah Hogan for being our 2024 dancers. Also, Dan and his wife did an outstanding job with their Gilligan’s Island-themed boat for Habitat in the 2023 Friends of Broadway Lake Charity Cardboard Boat Race! And a big thank you to Michelin, for inviting us to the golf tournament and all the other amazing support you give Habitat. We have such a great community here in Anderson.

Our Builds

Michelin Build

This year we started our Michelin Build! This build is in celebration of the support all three Anderson Michelin plants have given us over the years and incorporates proceeds from the Michelin Charity Golf Tournament. Habitat for Humanity Anderson is grateful for the generous support of Michelin, a company that consistently demonstrates a commitment to community welfare. The ongoing partnership with Michelin has empowered us to continue our mission of providing safe and affordable housing for families in need. We commend Michelin for their dedication to making a positive impact in the lives of others and look forward to witnessing the meaningful difference this new home will bring to the family.

Give Back Build Sponsors

This year’s executive build consisted of 23 total sponsors! Those 23 sponsors donated a total of $88,000 to Habitat. Everyone who has come out and volunteered has brought Elisha and her kids one step closer to having a safe place to live.

This year’s Women Build had 7 total sponsors and a total of 23 teams of 5 women. Our wonderful teams and sponsors raised more than $65,000 for Habitat. Seeing almost 100 women come together and build a house for Brandy was amazing to witness!

Finances

volunteers

Through the year

We had 1,602 volunteers come out to the build sites and the ReStore to serve a total of 12,047 hours over the year. This includes plenty of groups, churches, and organizations. When people come together, they can do a lot in just a few hours!

ReStore

The ReStore had a good year, with 3,845 people donating items to Habitat. Sales from those items contributed toward building two Habitat homes! The ReStore was proud and excited to unveil the newly remodeled home furnishings room. For more store info, you can go to the ReStore page!
