We’re Celebrating
World Habitat Day

On October 7, Habitat for Humanity of Marion County joins the global community in celebrating World Habitat Day. This day, established by the United Nations, highlights the urgent need for adequate shelter around the world. It’s a reminder that housing is a human right, not a privilege, and that we all play a role in ensuring every person has a decent place to live.

This year’s theme focuses on “Resilient Urban Economies”, recognizing cities as vital drivers of economic growth and recovery in the wake of global challenges like the COVID-19 pandemic. The message is clear: safe, affordable housing is not only essential for individual families, but it also strengthens communities, creating more resilient and prosperous urban centers.

Building Stronger Communities Through Housing

At Habitat for Humanity of Marion County, we believe that affordable housing is the foundation for creating stronger, healthier communities. Every home we build provides a family with stability and security, offering a chance to break the cycle of poverty. But more than that, it contributes to the overall well-being of our county. When families have a safe place to live, they can thrive—children do better in school, parents can focus on work, and everyone has a brighter future.

How You Can Help

This World Habitat Day, we invite you to be part of the solution. Here are a few ways you can get involved:

  • Donate: Every dollar helps build homes and change lives.
  • Volunteer: Whether it’s swinging a hammer or offering administrative support, your time and skills are invaluable.
  • Advocate: Spread the word about the need for affordable housing and the work Habitat for Humanity does in Marion County.
