Beyond the Build
At the Beyond the Build Luncheon, we come together to celebrate the progress, possibility and partnership that shape Sumner County. This annual gathering invites you into the heart of Habitat for Humanity’s mission, offering a closer look at how safe, affordable housing creates strength, stability and opportunity for families in our community.
During this inspiring afternoon, you will explore the impact of our work, including The Hudson, a first-of-its-kind pocket neighborhood that will introduce six new homes designed to foster connection and empower families to thrive. You will also learn more about Pafford Place, our recently completed nine-home subdivision, and how we continue to provide essential home repairs that help residents safely age in place.
Together, we will hear how financial wellness education equips future homeowners with the knowledge and confidence to build long-term stability and become engaged members of the Sumner County community.
Beyond the Build is more than a luncheon. It is a celebration of community, progress and the life-changing power that starts with a home. We invite you to join us as we continue building a better future, together.
Why This Luncheon Matters
A decent, affordable home is the foundation for health, education, financial stability and community resilience. When families have a safe place to call home, it becomes possible to focus on what matters most.
Your participation helps us:
Build and preserve affordable homes
Support local residents through home repairs
Create pathways to stability through financial wellness education
Strengthen neighborhoods across Sumner County
Together, we build a better future.

Pafford Place represents what can happen when a community comes together to build hope.
