While working, she couldn’t help but make friends—and an unlikely connection blossomed when she met Beth, a fellow volunteer.

Nine-year-old raises $1,350 selling lemonade for Habitat
Ask a child what they want for their birthday, and you might hear some similar answers: maybe a Lego set or an art project, maybe a new soccer ball or video game. But not for nine-year-old Cora June. This year, she had a different wish: to host a lemonade stand and raise money for Habitat.

CJ spent a 95° birthday weekend selling lemonade and orangeade in her neighborhood and at her grandparents’ congregation, the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Raleigh, a Habitat Faith Partner of at least 10 years.

Tom Gipson looks back on Home Builder's Blitz
🏡✨ 22 years ago, Home Builder's Blitz was born right here in Wake County. What started as a local initiative quickly ignited into a national movement, fueled by the passion of our community's builders. We recently had the honor of sitting down with the visionary behind it all, our very own Tom Gipson. We couldn't help but reminisce about all the countless memories and lives touched by the Blitz over the years.
