A Record-Breaking Morning: 2025 Foundations Breakfast Raises Over $78,000

What began as a simple conversation over coffee has grown into one of Franklin County’s most inspiring annual events. On Thursday, April 17, Habitat for Humanity of Franklin County hosted its 3rd Annual Foundations Breakfast, bringing together 130 attendees for a powerful morning of generosity, connection, and community. We’re thrilled to share that this year’s event raised over $78,000—our highest total yet!

Held at the beautiful Grant Street Loft, the breakfast featured an expanded menu, specialty beverages, and a sold-out crowd filled with community leaders, local businesses, and longtime supporters. The energy in the room reflected a shared belief in Habitat’s mission: that everyone deserves a safe, decent place to call home.

This year, funds raised will go directly toward the construction of a new Habitat home at 2894 Buchanan Trail West in Greencastle, where another local family will soon begin a new chapter of stability and hope. As a special touch, we were honored to have guests sign our President Jimmy Carter Tribute Door, which will be installed in the home—a lasting symbol of compassion, service, and the legacy of one of Habitat’s most faithful advocates.

We were also deeply honored to welcome Adrienne Goolsby, Senior Vice President for the U.S. and Canada at Habitat for Humanity International, as our keynote speaker. Her words reminded us that what we do locally has a ripple effect around the world—and that strong communities begin with people who care enough to act.

A special thank you goes to F&M Trust, our Grand Diamond Sponsor, whose continued partnership plays a vital role in making this event and our work possible.

To everyone who sponsored, attended, donated, volunteered, or helped spread the word—thank you. You didn’t just support an event; you helped build a home, a future, and a stronger Franklin County.

We’re already looking ahead to next year! Mark your calendars for the 4th Annual Foundations Breakfast on April 21, 2026. We can’t wait to build with you again.
