Publix Super Markets Awards $250K Grant

Our affiliate is proud to announce its 19-year partnership with Publix Super Markets Charities, has grown even stronger through a generous $250,000 grant dedicated to advancing affordable housing solutions across NWMA’s service area.

This investment directly supports Habitat NWMA’s mission to provide safe, stable, and affordable housing. Funds will be used for new home construction, critical home repairs, and community curb appeal projects. With this expanded support, Habitat NWMA is committed to serving 40 families this year through a variety of initiatives, including:

  • Affordable Homeownership: Building new homes for families in need of quality housing
  • Critical Home Repairs: Preserving existing homes and helping homeowners remain safely in place
  • Community Curb Appeal: Neighborhood revitalization efforts designed to foster pride and stability on local blocks

The impact of this partnership will be felt throughout Habitat NWMA’s tri-county service area of Cobb, Douglas, and Paulding counties, where rising housing costs continue to challenge families in some of Georgia’s fastest-growing communities.

“For nearly two decades, Publix has been more than just a donor—they have been a cornerstone of our efforts to build strength and stability through shelter,” said Kyle Huhtanen, CEO of Habitat for Humanity NWMA. “This year’s $250,000 grant is a testament to their servant leadership. It allows us to reach more families than ever before, ensuring that many households have a place to truly call home.”
