Seeking to put God's love into action, Habitat for Humanity brings people together to build homes, communities, and hope.
To celebrate the company’s 15th Annual Month of Giving, the Jersey Mike’s restaurant in Farmville is partnering with us to raise funds to Build More Homes in our community. During the month of March, customers will have the option to round up their purchase to the nearest dollar or donate $1, $3, or $5 when placing their order. The campaign culminates in the nationwide event, Day of Giving, on Wednesday, March 26, when local Jersey Mike’s owners and operators will donate every single dollar that comes in to local charities.

"Looking ahead, we are planning on completing at least seven homes in 2025. Construction has begun on the five-home development in Charlotte. We are in the preliminary phase for one home in Cumberland and one in Nelson. We are so blessed to be able to work alongside seven wonderful future homeowners who are all working hard to pursue their dreams of owning their homes."
We had an amazing groundbreaking event back in September in Keysville! Friends, family and community members came out in support of these families! We are so excited for these families to finally have their lots cleared and getting ready for foundations - one already finished! We are one step closer to these incredible future homeowners to be in their homes!
We also had a Home Dedication in Nelson County for Kylene and Hunter! Many thanks to everyone involved with the project as well as the event!! We are so honored to work with such amazing partners and supporters who make all of this possible! The Nelson County Committee, Virginia Housing, Paul Connell with the Trades Program at Nelson County Public Schools, Shawn Ragland and others with the Building Goodness Foundation, the Thomas Jefferson Planning District Commission, Bridgeport Construction, Casey Smith with Smith and Smith Inc. multiple churches in the area, but especially Rockfish Presbyterian and the Warehouse Church.
It is with a heavy heart that we announce the closing of our ReStore.
This has been one of the most difficult decisions in Piedmont Habitat for Humanity’s history, and we know the impact will be felt throughout our community.
While the closure is heartbreaking, we want to emphasize that Piedmont Habitat for Humanity is not closing, just the retail store. We will continue to serve the mission of creating affordable homeownership opportunities across the six counties we serve, ensuring that families continue to experience the positive benefits of safe, decent, affordable housing.
We thank the community for the support you have shown the ReStore these past 15 years! Thank you to all our incredible volunteers, donors and staff!

Another thing I like about Habitat is that it’s not a handout...Instead it’s a partnership. It’s not somebody up here helping somebody down there. It’s somebody reaching out a hand and saying, ‘Let’s work together.’
