Habitat for Humanity Celebrates Community Contributions

Habitat for Humanity is actively engaging communities across the U.S. through various initiatives, including a Veterans Build event in Greater Palm Beach County where volunteers repaired and painted homes for local veterans, generating appreciation among participants. In Houston, a sold-out 'Building a Dream' luncheon raised funds for affordable housing, featuring a keynote from women’s rights advocate Sima Ladjevardian, who emphasized the importance of homeownership for economic stability. Habitat for Humanity Saline County is hosting a Soup Drive-Thru event on November 8, offering pre-purchased soups to fundraise while also marking its 25th anniversary with a home dedication ceremony. Meanwhile, Findlay/Hancock County recognized outstanding volunteers at its Annual Celebration Dinner, celebrating the completion of four homes and numerous critical repairs this year. Scott Rhodes was awarded Volunteer of the Year for his leadership and contributions, while Scott Beaty received the Golden Hammer Award for his dedication to the organization. Throughout these events, the emphasis remains on community support and the transformative impact of stable housing.
