THANK YOU to September Volunteers!

TCUW Day of Caring- 2021

On Friday, September 10th Twin County United Way partnered with Clarkston High School to engage the seniors in a "Day of Caring."

We were fortunate enough to have 6 students at our affiliate office. They painted wire spools and a tabletop to be used later this month at our pumpkin patch. Their work saved us considerable time and will make the patch look that much more polished this year. We enjoyed working with them and appreciate their help!

Go Bantams!

A Weekend at the Fair

Thanks to all who took the time to stop by our educational booth at the Nez Perce County Fair last month!

We enjoyed the opportunity to chat with each and every one of you, share information about our programs, and invite you to our upcoming pumpkin patch.

As a special note, our booth was honored with a 3rd ribbon for educational booths.

Meet Michael

Meet Michael Lansdowne, who has been employed by HFH since June of 2020. He and his fiancé, Khristevia, are loving parents to their combined children. Michael is passionate about his faith, his family, and Habitat for Humanity. When he isn’t working, taking care of his family, or watching the Seahawks, you will probably find him tinkering, repairing something, or making music.

He is one of the hardest working employees in the building and takes the mission of HFH very seriously. We were proud when he was selected to be the first person to hold the role of supervisor for the ReStore. Thank you for all that you do Michael!
