Clay Habitat kicks off 50th anniversary, honors longtime volunteers

Celebration introduces a vision for expanded affordable homeownership

GREEN COVE SPRINGS — Congressman Aaron Bean emphasized the importance of homeownership and its positive impact on communities during Clay County Habitat for Humanity’s anniversary breakfast on Wednesday, Oct. 28, joining local leaders and supporters as the organization launched the celebration leading to its 50th anniversary in 2027.

Held at Church of the Way, the gathering connected decades of volunteer service with Clay Habitat’s plans to expand affordable homeownership opportunities in Clay County.

In his remarks, Bean highlighted the significance of becoming a homeowner and the benefits homeownership brings to the broader community. His participation helped spotlight the mission at the heart of Clay Habitat’s work: creating opportunities for families to establish stable homes and lasting roots.

“Congressman Bean’s message speaks directly to why we do this work,” said Carolina Morrow, CEO of Clay County Habitat for Humanity. “When a family has the opportunity to become a homeowner, the impact reaches beyond their front door. It helps strengthen the neighborhood and the community around them.”

The breakfast recognized longtime volunteers whose dedication has helped sustain the organization’s mission. Guests included Abby Bean, a representative from Representative Sapp’s office, and county and city representatives.

Clay Habitat has built more than 185 homes throughout Clay County. Looking ahead, the organization’s vision includes Harbor Ridge, a planned 28-home neighborhood in Green Cove Springs that would expand affordable homeownership opportunities and help more families put down roots.

Morrow also outlined a broader commitment to preparing families for successful homeownership, helping protect existing homes and family property, and strengthening the partnerships needed to sustain that work.

“This anniversary is an opportunity to honor the people who brought us here and ask what we can make possible next,” Morrow said. “We have families to serve, homes to build and a responsibility to put our community’s trust to work.”

Clay Habitat is inviting businesses, faith communities, civic organizations and residents to participate in its next chapter through volunteering, financial support and partnerships.
