Celebrating 37 Years Of Central Valley Habitat
For many families in our community, the dream of homeownership can feel distant. For our homeowners, everything changes the moment they walk through their new front door. At our Annual Banquet, we reflect on these life-changing moments.
The True Meaning of Home
A stable home lays the groundwork for a healthier, more secure future—but with housing costs continuing to climb, affordable options are becoming harder to reach. Many families are left spending an overwhelming portion of their income just to afford a place to live.
At Habitat, we work to remove those barriers—helping families achieve stability through affordable homeownership. As Dawn Kern, a donor and supporter, shares: “Do all the good you can, in all the ways you can, for all the people you can.” That spirit lives in every donor, volunteer, and trade partner who supports our mission.
A Community Brought Together
Each year, the Annual Banquet brings together more than 250 supporters—neighbors, business leaders, and advocates—united by a shared vision that everyone deserves a decent place to live. More than a fundraiser, this event helps power our year-round work through sponsorships, table donations, and live and silent auctions.
Abe Halterman of Davenport & Company shares, “We’ve seen the real impact Habitat has on families and our community.” Every gift helps a family step into a safer, more hopeful chapter of life. Together, we build opportunities.
Turning Dreams Into Reality
Thanks to your generosity, families across our region are moving into homes where they can thrive. The impact is an immediate and lasting sense of security that comes with owning a home. These are real people with real stories, and their success is the clearest reflection of what your support makes possible.
The Work Ahead
The banquet isn’t just about celebrating recent achievements—it’s about looking towards the future. Affordable housing is a challenge that never takes a break, so neither do we. We carry this work forward together—one home, one family, one partnership at a time.
As we get ready to gather once again, we invite you to take part in this special evening. Whether you choose to sponsor, donate, attend, or share our message, your involvement fuels real change. At Central Valley Habitat, when we build homes, we build hope. That is a legacy worth lifting.
