Dewey Street Kickoff!

We officially started our newest project on Friday, November 18, at a kickoff celebration. Our Dewey Street property will be a renovation of a fire-damaged house. Ivy and her family will be purchasing this 3 bed 1 bath home. During the kickoff, Ivy started the demo by taking off a broken shutter. We are excited that Ivy and her family will be moving to Ashland. Ivy's biggest concern with her current living conditions is the violence. We hope that this property will give them a safe and secure home and give them a sense of peace. Read Ivy's bio here and see more pictures from the ceremony.

Upcoming Faith Build

We are getting closer to the start of our Faith Build project! We are still looking for more churches to participate - either by serving, praying, or giving. The participation of local faith-based organizations is critical in helping us make this project a success! Email Amanda Gunter at agunter@hkwhabitat.org to let us know how you plan on participating. Faith Build information and resources can be found online.

Recycle Update!

The Novelis Can Competition ended in November. In the last 3 months, we collected 2,688 pounds. That brought us $1,273 to go towards building affordable homes and making critical repairs in Hanover and King William. Thank you to all who helped us reach this number!
