Normally this time of year, we would be gearing up to invite all of our Habitat Collier friends and family to join us in celebration as we host dedication ceremonies for our newest Habitat homeowners. With COVID-19 precautions still in place, we know we can’t have in-person gatherings, but we didn’t want you to miss out on all the joy of these incredibly grateful families. Our partner families look forward to their Dedication Ceremonies and letting all of the volunteers, donors, Habitat staff, and supporters know how deeply grateful they are for the incredible gift you have had a part in making possible.

So, this season, we’re bringing the dedications to you.

Families in our first dedication ceremony had so many wonderful things to say that we made this Dedication Ceremony a two-part episode. Just click play on the video below to be part of the first in our series of virtual dedication ceremonies. Enjoy part one today, and then keep an eye out for part two!

As always, we are ever grateful for your support in this mission—we truly could not make dreams like these come true without you— and we hope that you can feel the pride in homeownership that these families have as you listen to their words of thanks.

Feeling inspired?

Make a gift and help more families in our community fulfill their American Dreams, just like the ones you saw today.
