New home, new hope

Support PV Habitat this Giving Tuesday

“We get to see despair transform into hope over and over. We get to see changes in the lives of people who have moved into new homes and who now have new hope.”
– Former President Jimmy Carter

Dear Friends,

We live in a beautiful place, where small to medium sized towns and cities nestle among rolling hills and alongside rivers and streams. Across the Valley, many hardworking families dream of owning a safe, affordable home — but for those living in our rural towns, that dream can feel impossibly out of reach.

That’s where Pioneer Valley Habitat for Humanity steps in. With partners like YOU.

Across the country in late October, in conjunction with the annual Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter Work Project, dozens of Habitat affiliates participated in the 2025 Rural Rally, hosting conversations and special events and builds with local housing advocates to shine a light on the issues particular to rural housing. Although Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter are no longer with us, their legacy remains a driving force in Habitat’s work. Just as the Carters brought people together to build houses, strong families and thriving neighborhoods, Pioneer Valley Habitat convened local housing advocates in October to talk nuts and bolts about how to amplify that legacy here in our beautiful rural region. And the group worked with actual nuts and bolts to build a picnic table for a future homeowner!

Your contribution supports Habitat’s community-build model of partnering with local families in need of an affordable living situation to build homes in towns like Pelham, Shutesbury, Conway and beyond — ensuring that everyone, no matter where they live, can have a decent place to call home. And now, more than ever, the need is great and your support will make a difference.

Please, make your donation today. Together we strengthen families and neighborhoods and continue to maintain the vibrant character of our rural communities. A resilient world begins with a home.
