The Tarragon team attended the Habitat for Humanity Luncheon, an inspiring event that served as a great introduction to our upcoming Build Day this summer. The stories shared at the luncheon highlighted the positive impact of Habitat’s work—we’re grateful for the opportunity to support this incredible organization!

“I always enjoy attending the Habitat for Humanity Luncheon and learning more about the incredible work they’re doing in our community. Hearing firsthand how access to safe, affordable housing can change lives is a powerful reminder of the importance of coming together to support others and make a lasting impact. I’m grateful for the opportunity, through Tarragon, to have supported Habitat for Humanity over the past four years and to contribute to their mission of building strength, stability, and self-reliance through shelter.” – Steph Christianson, Marketing Manager.

As part of Tarragon’s Community Engagement Initiative, the Merit Apartments project team had the privilege of volunteering at the Step-by-Step Foundation’s annual Christmas Dinner in Puyallup. We shared laughter, conversation, and a festive meal with the families they serve. Seeing children’s smiles as they took photos with Santa reminded us of what this season is truly about—joy, compassion, and community.
