You’re invited!
Join us for an evening of friends and community in support of Essex County Habitat for Humanity. An enchanting evening dedicated to bringing people together to build affordable homes, strengthen families and communities, and foster hope.
To make the evening even more special, we’ll introduce and welcome our new Executive Director, Kevin Moore, as well as celebrate our honorees, Stuart Johnson and TruNorth Bank.
As the sun sets over the harbor at Danversport, the evening begins with cocktails, conversation, and the company of old and new friends. You will enjoy delicious passed hors d’oeuvres and creative food stations before gathering together for our program and live auction.
After the presentation, the celebration continues with coffee, desserts, and plenty of time to connect and linger a little longer.
We can’t wait to celebrate with you!
Together, let us make a difference by creating a brighter future for families in our community. Our vison is that one day, everyone will have a decent place to live!
