There are worse ways to spend a Thursday.

Lunch at 10:30. Golf at 11. A few hours at Star Hill Golf Club with friends who will remember your best shot almost as clearly as they remember your worst one.

Our 29th Annual Charity Golf Tournament is Thursday, November 5th, in Cape Carteret, and a few team spots are still available.

They’re first come, first served. If you’ve been meaning to register, this is a useful point in the proceedings to actually do it.

Registration is $85 per player or $340 for a team of four, including green fees, golf carts, and lunch.

Prizes include Longest Drive, Fairway Fashionista, and Most Honest Golfers, among others.
That last category suggests we’ve been doing this long enough to know our audience.

And while you’re spending the day deciding whether that ball is technically still playable, you’re helping Crystal Coast Habitat for Humanity continue building safe, affordable housing with local families.

A Thursday on the golf course can do quite a bit around here.

Comment GOLF and we’ll send the tournament information, including how to register, to your inbox.

Star Hill Golf Club, Cape Carteret
Check-in: 10 a.m.

They know how to top off a project.

A big thank-you to Coastal Countertops & Tile for supporting our 29th Annual Charity Golf Tournament. When it comes to putting the finishing touches on a home, these folks know their stuff, and we’re pretty glad they’re helping us put the finishing touches on another great tournament, too.

From countertops to tile, the details matter. And so do the local businesses that help make our community a great place to call home.

When it comes to making room for good things, Go Mini's of Eastern North Carolina knows how to deliver.

A big thank-you to Go Mini’s for supporting our 29th Annual Charity Golf Tournament. Whether you’re making room during a move, tackling a big project, or just trying to get everything to fit, having a little extra space goes a long way. The same is true when it comes to building stronger communities.

We’re grateful to have businesses like Go Mini’s in our corner, helping us make room for what matters most: safe, affordable homes for local families. Now that’s a delivery worth celebrating.

Will would like to confirm his employment.

In writing.

On his head.

“Do you work here?” is a familiar question at our Newport ReStore, where the Habitat shirts, walkies, vests, hard hats, steel-toed shoes and boots all help identify someone who can help.

You can also look for a ticket pad. Or someone who has passed you three times carrying three different things.

Will felt there was room for one more clue.

Business cardboard.

Complete with two stars, because there’s no reason an employment verification document can’t have a little decoration.

Please feel free to ask him for help.

He’s already answered the preliminary question.

A paycheck has a lot of jobs before it ever reaches the end of the month.

Housing is a big one.

And when that housing is affordable and you own it, the money you’re spending on it can start building something for you, too.

Equity. Savings. A little more financial room over time.

A national Habitat study put numbers to it. After three years, Habitat homeowners had accumulated $1,800 more in liquid assets than comparable households. By year six, the difference had grown to $4,400.

They also saw stronger credit outcomes and were less likely to lose their homes to foreclosure.

That’s why affordability matters long after closing. We work with our homeowners to make sure they can afford their homes and stay in them, because getting the keys was never supposed to be the finish line.

And right now, we have homes in Onslow County ready for families.

If you LIVE OR WORK in Onslow County, our application cycle is open. Habitat homeownership is an option for people who may not qualify for a traditional mortgage. We look at several factors, there is flexibility within our program, and qualification is not dependent on your credit score.

100% of our homeowners didn’t know they qualified until they applied.

Comment ONSLOW APPLICATION and we’ll send the Interest Form and application information straight to your Messenger.

He knows a thing or two about helping people find a place to call home.

A big thank-you to Alan Leary, Realtor- Re/Max Ocean Properties, for supporting our 29th Annual Charity Golf Tournament. As one of the founders of this tournament, Alan has helped build a tradition that brings our community together year after year. Talk about a legacy that’s right on course!

Between helping people find their place in the world of real estate and supporting our mission to build homes right here in our community, Alan knows that home is about more than just an address.

Some people spend rainy Saturdays wrapped in a blanket. Our Women Build volunteers spent theirs wrapping a house.

Four volunteers contributed 12 hours this past Saturday, proving that a small crew can make a big difference, even when the weather has other plans. Together they:

- Finished the final row of house wrap across the front and most of the back of the house.
- Finished framing the guest bedroom closets, linen closet, and air handler closet.
- Completed the top plates.

The house now has more closets than it did Friday, and we’re calling that a win. Future towels, coats, and that box nobody ever unpacks will be grateful.

To our crew: thank you for showing up, braving the weather, and giving your time to help a local family build a place to call home. Every hour matters, and so do the people who give it.

November volunteer dates are coming soon! No construction experience needed, just a willingness to help. We’ll supply the tools and find you something more productive to do than check the forecast.

There are places you learn about in Habitat history, and then there are places where you can stand in the middle of it.

While in Georgia for the 2026 Habitat for Humanity Affiliate Conference, Easton, Tammy, Julie, Jowita and board member Melvin Cooper had the opportunity to visit several of them.

In Plains, they explored the Jimmy Carter National Historical Park, including Plains High School, President Carter’s former campaign headquarters and Mother Allie’s house, the childhood home of Rosalynn Carter.

The visit offered a closer look at the community that shaped President and Mrs. Carter, whose decades of work alongside Habitat helped bring worldwide attention to the belief that everyone deserves a decent place to live.

Their travels also took them to Koinonia Farm.

That stop reaches even further back into Habitat’s story.

The intentional Christian community was home to Clarence Jordan and the partnership-housing model that helped lay the groundwork for what would eventually become Habitat for Humanity.

Then, in Atlanta, they visited Habitat for Humanity International headquarters and the Clarence Jordan Building, connecting those early ideas in rural Georgia with a housing movement that now reaches communities around the world.

There was history in museums and exhibits, but there was also history in ordinary buildings, old roads, farmland and a little town called Plains.

Sometimes understanding where you’re going means getting a better look at where you came from.

One person is enough to make a household.

We mention families often when we talk about Habitat homeownership. What we don’t want is for that word to quietly convince someone they need children before they can apply.

You don’t.

Crystal Coast Habitat helps individuals become homeowners, too. Having children is not a requirement for our homeownership program.

We’re very happy to see a child get a bedroom of their own. We’re also very happy to see an adult get a front door they own. Neither requires the other.

Applicants still need to meet the program’s qualifications, but parenthood isn’t on that list.

If you’re applying on your own, there’s room in this conversation for you.

When your business is building homes, you know a thing or two about putting down roots.

A big thank-you to Jerri Builders Homes, LLC for supporting our 29th Annual Charity Golf Tournament. We’re glad to have folks in the building business in our corner, helping us bring our community together for a day of golf, good company, and a little friendly competition.

After all, building homes is what we do best, but we’ll never turn down a good reason to hit the green, too.
