A Generous Spirit

This time of year, many families are setting up their Christmas trees and making their homes warm and inviting.

At Pensacola Habitat, we think of the more than 1,500 homeowners in Escambia and Santa Rosa counties who are doing those same activities in the homes we built together.

This holiday season, we invite you to donate to Pensacola Habitat. We want everyone to have a safe, warm, and wonderful place to live at this time of year. Consider donating your time as a volunteer or make a gift to Pensacola Habitat today, and of course, we wish you a happy holidays!

Celebrating Our Year At Pensacola Habitat for Humanity, we rely on the support of our community to achieve our mission of building homes, communities, and hope. From our donors to our volunteers and everyone in between, we are full of a great deal of love and support. Each year, we host a dinner to reflect on the year and to show our immense gratitude to those who have made it such a success. This past November we gathered at DeLuna Winery and shared stories, laughs, and love as a community for our 2019 Annual Dinner.

A Special thanks to T.J Jenkins and John Reble as they step off the board this year.

Thank you for serving the Pensacola Community.
