Habitat for Humanity of Lake-Sumter Honors President Carter’s Contributions to the Organization
Habitat’s memorial event will be held around the globe; public invited to view and sign memorial walls
Habitat for Humanity of Lake-Sumter joins Habitat organizations around the world in erecting a memorial framed wall to pay tribute to the late President Jimmy Carter and acknowledge how his efforts opened doors to brighter futures for thousands of Habitat homeowners over nearly four decades.
Habitat Lake-Sumter’s memorial framed wall will be at 710 S. Bay St. Eustis, Florida on January 30th, at 10am. The media and the general public are invited to pay tribute by signing the memorial with their names and personal messages.
“President Carter’s contributions to Habitat for Humanity are among the most vital to our organization,” said Jonathan Reckford, CEO of Habitat for Humanity International. “He opened doors of opportunity for families worldwide, and all of us at Habitat have been honored and humbled to work alongside him. We were truly blessed to have his support, and our thoughts and prayers are with Mrs. Carter and the entire Carter family.”
In addition to visiting the memorial, the public is invited to visit habitat.org to sign the official online memory book and to see and share Habitat’s global tribute to President Carter.
