Season of Giving 2026
Building What
Comes Next
What comes next begins with what we make possible today. Your year-end gift helps a Dallas neighbor move from uncertainty to stability, belonging, and possibility.
A year of building.
One week that showed what’s possible.
All year long, we’ve been building homes, making repairs, and walking alongside future homeowners. This October, Rock the Block brought that work into full view. Neighbors, volunteers, and partners came together, and in one week we improved homes, strengthened a neighborhood, and saw what it looks like when a whole city shows up.
More than neighbors
Meet Tanya Smith and Asia Echols
When Tanya Smith, a single mother of twins, moved into her Dallas Habitat home in Joppa, she was one of the community’s early homeowners. Two years later, Asia Echols moved in as her neighbor. Over the years, the two women have become close friends, looking out for each other and each other’s children.
During Rock the Block, both homes received repairs, including fresh exterior paint, bathroom updates, and new landscaping.
For Tanya and Asia, homeownership means more than just a house; it means community and connection.
We’re there for each other; it’s nice to have family, not just neighbors – someone to look after you and make sure you’re good.
Ms. Echols, Dallas Habitat homeowner
That week showed us what’s possible when Dallas comes together. This Season of Giving, we’re inviting you to carry that same energy into the next home, the next neighborhood, and the next family’s future.
What comes next looks different for every neighbor.
For a future homeowner
For a family working toward homeownership, it might be opening the door to their first home.
For a longtime homeowner
For a longtime homeowner, it might be the repairs that let them stay in the neighborhood they love.
For a child
For a child, it might be a stable place to learn, grow, and imagine their future.
Your generosity helps make each of those next chapters possible.
