Welcome!

On behalf of everyone at Habitat for Humanity Greater Boston, welcome to our first-ever “Home for the Holidays” celebration! Your presence tonight is a display of our collective belief that everyone deserves access to an affordable home for their holidays.

Tonight’s event is made possible by the tremendous generosity of our founding sponsors, with special thanks to our Foundation Sponsor Berkshire Partners. Thank you for your commitment to our mission and for making this celebration possible.

As you enjoy tonight’s festivities, I encourage you to read the larger-than-life holiday cards from Habitat Greater Boston homeowners and teams. Talk to the staff, board members, and homeowners who are present this evening. Find out what they have been up to this year and what they have in store for 2026. It is in those stories that you will see how important you are to those happy endings. Our volunteers and donors give so generously of their time, talent, and treasure, and it is this that we are most thankful for today and every day.

Thank you again for your extraordinary support this evening.

Sincerely,

James Kostaras
