Enjoy a delicious lunch while hearing powerful stories on dreams turning into reality. As we celebrate our theme, Dreams Made Real, you’ll experience heartfelt testimonies from homeowners. A business donor and committed volunteer will also speak on the impact of their contributions and why they choose to invest in the mission of Upper Cumberland Habitat for Humanity. Their perspectives reveal how every partnership helps transform a dream into a stable, thriving future.

This event is more than just a luncheon; it's an opportunity to discover the mission, witness the impact, and become part of real change in our community. Your investment, whether through attendance, donations, or sponsorship—helps build homes, change lives, and create a future filled with hope.

Tickets are just $25, or become a table host for $400 and you'll also enjoy meaningful connections, and a deeper understanding of how we can work together to make a difference. Donations are always welcomed, and every contribution moves us one step closer to building brighter futures.

Sponsorship opportunities are also available! Please reach out to Kasey at kasey@uchabitat.org.

We can't wait to see you there, because when we build together, we build stronger!

Our Made With Love Pottery Studio Workshop was truly something special, and we’re still smiling thinking about it. From the creativity on display to the laughter, conversation, and sense of community in the room, it was a wonderful reminder of how meaningful it is to come together and create.

Thank you to everyone who joined us, got their hands a little messy, and helped make the event such a success. The energy and enthusiasm you brought made it an experience we won’t forget.

We’re already hard at work planning what’s coming next—and we can’t wait to share what we have in store for Quarter 2. More creativity, more connection, and more opportunities to gather are right around the corner.
