Welcome Home!

Almost thirty months ago, in March 2020, the world of Habitat for Humanity of Hood County—and yours as well, I suspect—was turned on its ear by the COVID-19 pandemic. Since that time, we at HFHHC have struggled to adjust to the new reality brought about by that seminal event. For a year and a half, our volunteers could do no construction work at all, and our soon-to-be homeowner/partners found themselves in a kind of limbo as they awaited the opportunity to help build their dreams. Then, last September, HFHHC took hammers and saws in hand and cautiously began to once again build for the future. We completed our first “post-pandemic” home in January, and are now in the process of putting the finishing touches on our second one.

So, as we look forward to a new construction year beginning in September, we are hopeful that all the elements that were once part of our routine can finally be reintroduced, and that things can get back to normal…whatever that should happen to be! To help kick off this process, we invite anyone interested in supporting our mission to join us for a “Construction Kickoff” meeting on Friday, August 26, from 5:30-7:00 p.m. at Spring Creek Barbecue. We’ll be sharing plans for our next home-building schedule, and will provide lots of information about how you can join us in this ministry. Of course, we’ll be happy to answer any questions you might have about Habitat for Humanity and how we go about serving our community. I hope to see you there on August 26th! Come and help us build homes, hopes, and dreams for our fellow Hood County folk.
