The holiday season—that magical time when the world seems to pause, and our hearts swell with gratitude and the spirit of giving. Here at Heartitude.com, we believe that true fulfillment comes from connecting purpose with action, and there is no greater purpose than helping others find stability and belonging.
That’s why we are so inspired by the incredible initiative from Habitat for Humanity International and its generous corporate partners. Throughout the 2025 holiday season and into the new year, they are uniting to support the powerful mission of making safe, affordable homeownership a reality for families both here in the U.S. and around the world.
The Power of “Home”
A home is more than just four walls; it is the foundation for a prosperous and vibrant life. It’s where memories are made, traditions are shared, and futures are built. As Charlita Stephens-Walker, vice president of corporate partnerships at Habitat for Humanity, noted, the season “reminds us of the importance of giving back to our local communities and supporting the causes we care about.”
The greatest form of Heartitude is finding simple, meaningful ways to infuse your daily life with kindness. This year, you don’t have to overhaul your routine; you simply need to channel your existing holiday hustle towards a greater good.
How to Practice Heartitude Through Giving:
This season, these incredible corporate partners are offering easy ways to turn your holiday shopping and dining into direct support for building hope:

By supporting the businesses that support Habitat for Humanity, your gifts, your décor, and even your dinner become small steps in the grand journey of building a better future—one home, one community, and one heart at a time.
