Have a Heart Dinner 2025: A Night of Building, Hope, and Community Impact
On September 25, the Historic Hampton House will open its doors for more than just an evening out. It will become the gathering place for neighbors, partners, and changemakers committed to one shared goal: building a Pickens County where every family has a safe, decent, affordable place to call home.
The Have a Heart Dinner is more than a fundraiser. It is a celebration of the people who make affordable homeownership possible: families completing 200 sweat equity hours to earn the keys to their homes, volunteers who have given countless weekends to construction, and community partners who have invested in stability that lasts generations.
Guests will enjoy a warm reception with beer and wine, a full sit-down dinner, and stories that bring our mission to life, including powerful homeowner testimonies. We will debut our 2024 Impact Report and present our Golden Hammer Awards, honoring individuals whose dedication has built more than houses. They have built futures.

Why Your Support Matters
Since 2020, construction costs have risen more than 60%, making the path to homeownership even steeper for families earning 45% to 80% of the area median income. Every ticket purchased and every sponsorship secured helps bridge that gap, funding not just walls and roofs, but opportunity, security, and hope.
