For families in Lake and Sumter Counties, having a safe, stable home is life-changing. Through the generosity of supporters like you, Habitat for Humanity of Lake-Sumter helps families take that vital step toward stability, independence, and a brighter future. Every home we build is more than walls and a roof—it’s a place where families can grow, children can thrive, and parents can focus on building a better life.

Did you know your Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) can make an immediate impact? Donors who are 70½ or older can use their QCD from an IRA to support Habitat Lake-Sumter. Many find that a direct transfer of funds from a QCD, DAF, or IRA is a simple way to make a difference for local families while also aligning with their year-end charitable goals.

This year, families like Melanie and her two children—a son and a daughter—have experienced the joy of moving into a home they helped build themselves. With every nail hammered and wall raised, they took a step toward stability and independence—something that wouldn’t be possible without supporters like you. Your generosity doesn’t just provide a house; it provides hope, security, and the foundation for a brighter future.

As you consider your year-end giving, we hope you’ll keep Habitat Lake-Sumter in mind. Every gift—big or small—helps keep a home within reach for a local family. Your support truly transforms lives and strengthens our community.
