Habitat receives $12,000 from wine, food and music event

Sussex County Habitat for Humanity recently accepted a donation of $12,000 from the Southern Delaware Wine, Food and Music Festival.

Proceeds from the 2025 festival will support Sussex Habitat’s ongoing efforts to provide safe, affordable housing to families across Sussex County. The funds will directly benefit its Healthy Homes Program, which aims to provide critical home repairs for low-income homeowners.

“We are incredibly thankful to Stacy LaMotta, event organizer, and the entire festival team for this generous gift,” said Ricky Pollitt, Sussex County Habitat for Humanity director of development. “This donation will have a real, lasting impact on the homeowners and ensure our residents can remain in their homes.”
