2026 Building Hope Luncheon

let’s open the door to /opportunity/

The 2026 Building Hope Luncheon was a moment for us to open the door, together, and witness what’s possible when a community shows up with heart and purpose.

Because of you—your generous support and trust—we exceeded our goal and can now direct more than $780,000 to build and repair more homes and open doors to stability and opportunity alongside more families across Philadelphia.

We partner with families to build or improve a place to call home

People in Philadelphia and all over the world partner with Habitat for Humanity to build or improve a place they can call home. Habitat homeowners help build their own homes alongside volunteers and pay an affordable mortgage. With our help, Habitat homeowners achieve the strength, stability and independence they need to build a better life for themselves and their families.

Our Impact

Habitat for Humanity Philadelphia ReStore

Budget-friendly shopping that builds homes.

Our Restore offers a unique selection of new and gently-used furniture, appliances, décor and more at a fraction of the retail price. With vintage and modern donations arriving daily and plenty of brand-new items still in the box, there really is something for everyone.

All ReStore profits are reinvested into Habitat Philadelphia’s construction and repair work, helping local families achieve their dream of safe and affordable homeownership.

Shop. Donate. Volunteer.

Verna’s Story

“I needed help for my home… [Now], my step outside is firm. I can hold onto it, and it doesn’t shake.”

A safe home is a home you can rely on through every season of life. At 84, Verna needed specific repairs and modifications to her home to support her day-to-day needs and ensure that she could age in place well.

Matt’s Story

Matt, a military veteran and doctorate student, reached out to Habitat when a rough storm knocked a tree branch into the back of his house in 2023. This unexpected incident caused severe damage to the home and led to persistent water leaks and growing mold in the kitchen and laundry room.

Eric’s Story

Eric, a military veteran and lifelong resident of Strawberry Mansion in North Philadelphia, lives with his partner Kia and their son Eli in his childhood home, originally owned by his grandparents and later passed down to the couple through his mother. A 105-year-old rowhome, this house holds not only lifelong family memories but a promise for future generations. 

Quindece’s Story

“To me, home is a place of peace, rest and a safe space for raising my beautiful kids.”

After a year of hard work and determination, Habitat Homeowner Quindece received the keys to her home at Coltrane Commons in Strawberry Mansion with her children as the Habitat Family celebrated with her.
