Habitat for Humanity of the Upper Keys (HfHUK) recently announced it received a $100,000 partial home sponsorship from Publix Charities. This funding will help construct a three-bedroom, two-bathroom home at 991 Valencia Road in Key Largo.
Construction on the home is underway, and this funding will help get the project over the finish line. This project is part of HfHUK’s ongoing mission to provide safe, affordable housing opportunities in Monroe County, specifically the Upper Keys.
“We are incredibly grateful to Publix Charities for their commitment to strengthening communities through affordable homeownership,” said Lindsay Fast, HfHUK executive director. “This contribution will make a lasting impact on a local family, giving them the stability and security of a place to call home here in the Upper Keys.”
“Our foundation was established by Publix’s founder, Mr. George Jenkins, to improve life in our communities,” said Publix Charities in a statement. “We believe your organization exemplifies that mission and are pleased to play a part in your efforts.”
Publix Charities has a longstanding history of supporting Habitat for Humanity. Monroe County is home to three Habitat for Humanity affiliates, all of which were awarded funding. More information is at www.habitatupperkeys.org.
