Habitat for Humanity of Greater Palm Beach County Celebrates Ribbon Cutting and “Housewarming” of New Office

On September 25, Habitat for Humanity of Greater Palm Beach County opened the doors to its new office located in Lake Worth, bringing its entire team under one roof for the first time since the January 2023 merger of Habitat Palm Beach County and Habitat South Palm Beach County. This milestone marks a significant step forward in Habitat’s mission to build homes, communities, and hope.

The move was made possible through the generosity of Bank of America, which provided a zero cost 10-year lease for the new space. This extraordinary contribution ensures long-term stability, allowing Habitat to focus its resources on building safe, affordable homes and expanding services to families in need across Palm Beach County.

“Welcoming Habitat for Humanity of Greater Palm Beach County into our office space is an exciting next step in our long-standing partnership. Together we’re helping Habitat focus on what matters most: building strength, stability and brighter futures for families in Palm Beach County,” said Fabiola Brumley, President, Bank of America Palm Beach County. “For nearly 40 years, our Bank of America teammates have rolled up their sleeves on Habitat build sites, and we have proudly supported Habitat’s critical mission through our Charitable Foundation grants.”

The office build-out was led by RCC Associates, whose team donated their time and expertise to create a welcoming and functional environment for staff and volunteers. Many additional community partners contributed in-kind and discounted services to bring the project to life, including Currie Sowards Aguila Architects, ID Collaborative, Vari, A Better Plumbing Contractors, Sesco Lighting, Heritage, LektraFlor, Sherwin-Williams, Village of Palm Springs, Sample Communications, Nancy Bowers, Moraca Builders, WastePro Palm Beach, NetOne Technologies, Palm Springs USPS, One Point Partition, and Johnson Controls.

Community leaders, sponsors, and friends gathered for a celebratory ribbon-cutting in partnership with the Chamber of Commerce of the Palm Beaches. The afternoon began with a networking reception, followed by a program recognizing the partners who made the new office possible. Guests then toured the new space while enjoying delicious bites and refreshments provided by Laura Ashley Catering, accompanied by beautiful floral arrangements from Wellington Florist.

As Habitat for Humanity of Greater Palm Beach County prepares to celebrate its 40th anniversary in 2026, the organization reflects on its historical impact. To date, Habitat GPBC has proudly built 442 homes, completed 783 repairs, served over 1,230 households, and engaged 39600+ volunteers. Looking ahead to this milestone anniversary, Habitat is setting bold goals to expand its reach and deepen its impact in the years to come. The new Lake Worth headquarters provides the foundation for Habitat’s next chapter of transformational work.

“This new space brings our team together under one roof, allowing us to collaborate more effectively, save critical funds, and ultimately serve more families across Palm Beach County,” said Jennifer Thomason, President and CEO of Habitat for Humanity of Greater Palm Beach County. “As we prepare to celebrate 40 years of impact in 2026, we are profoundly grateful to Bank of America, RCC Associates, and all the community partners whose generosity made this milestone possible.”

Habitat’s new office not only reflects its commitment to operational excellence but also serves as a cornerstone for the next era of impact, advancing the mission of building homes, communities, and hope.
