How You Made an Impact in 2025
It’s been an incredible year at Habitat GFW, and we couldn’t have done it without you! Here’s a look at just a few things you helped us and our Future Homeowners accomplish with your support.
42 New Families Enrolled
1,221 Tons of Materials Diverted from Landfills
Annual Fundraiser: ReStore Your Passion
Our “GC” Teams are Hard at Work for ReStore Your Passion 2026
Our event committee joined this year’s General Contractors (GC’s) and their teams for a VIP night at the Fort Wayne Habitat ReStore. Each team chose 1-2 items to refurbish and auction off at our upcoming fundraiser. We can’t wait to see how they bring each piece back to life. More details about ReStore Your Passion: habitatgfw.com/ryp.
Special thanks to Momma Workman’s Cupcakes & Cakes and Set the Table for providing food and sweets for our kickoff.

Our two homes in Huntington will have gas hooked up soon, so drywall can begin installation. We’ll then be moving on to painting and flooring.
