Join us for an unforgettable evening where hope takes center stage as we raise funds to make homeownership dreams come true.

The housing crisis is no longer a distant issue — it’s here, in our neighborhoods, impacting families every day. Too many are drowning in debt, struggling to afford basic housing, or living in homes that are no longer safe.

But thanks to the generosity of people like you, we’re changing that.

At Housatonic Habitat for Humanity, we do more than build homes — we help create pathways to stability, dignity, and a brighter future. Whether it's financial literacy that empowers first-time buyers, affordable homes that build equity, or critical repairs that allow older adults to age safely in place, your support turns homeownership dreams into reality.

Mark your calendar for Thursday, October 23, 2025, and join us at the elegant Silver Spring Country Club in Ridgefield, Connecticut. Doors open at 6:00 PM.

We’ll be joined by award-winning host and auctioneer Lucas Hunt, known for his dynamic energy and appearance as the auctioneer on CBS’s Bull.

This is our signature fall gala — and it’s more than a celebration. It’s a call to action. Building and repairing homes takes real resources, and we need your help to make it happen. Throughout the evening, you’ll have the chance to raise your paddle and fund the materials, skilled labor, and services that turn blueprints into real homes.

Come dressed in your denim best and enjoy a seated dinner, craft cocktails, and a lively lineup of live and silent auctions — all while standing in support of the families, seniors, and veterans we serve. Together, we can build a future rooted in strength, stability, and self-reliance.

As an independent affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International, we are 100% locally funded — every dollar raised stays right here in our community.

So bring your heart, your generosity, and your denim best!

Reserve your tickets, become a sponsor, or donate auction items today — and be a part of something truly life-changing.
