People across the United States and the world learned about the passing of President Carter on Sunday, December 29, 2024.
Whether we remember him for his humanitarian work or his political career, most people grieve his loss because they lost someone that was a voice for a better community and he was also a true servant leader – not shying away from personally getting involved and helping to literally build that better community he advocated for.
Habitat for Humanity will miss Jimmy Carter especially for the deep connections he made to the organization, the houses he helped build and the countless lives he touched. As he did this work, he also planted seeds and these seeds were cultivated to expand Habitat as an organization across all the country, so that people could have an opportunity to have affordable housing and work to eliminate homelessness.
Thank you to the people that have called to offer their support, share a story of how they were touched by Jimmy Carter’s work or simply to see how they can help our community.
On Saturday, January, 11th through Saturday, January 18th, the Decatur Area Habitat for Humanity ReStore will have a special door made available to post messages of thanks, tributes to Jimmy Carter’s life or pictures of memories of his legacy upon the door. We’ll then hang the door in remembrance of Jimmy Carter’s legacy.
Habitat for Humanity is a nonprofit organization that helps families build and improve places to call home. We believe affordable housing plays a critical role in strong and stable communities. We build strength, stability and self reliance through shelter.
As we celebrate our 35th year in Decatur Area we are excited to start building our 70th home! We couldn't have done it without the support of the Decatur community. Thank you to all of our employees and volunteers over the years.
