CIGNA volunteers came early to work on a recent chilly morning.
Thanks, Atmos, for sending a great crew for House #24 in Denison.
Target employees kicked off their United Way campaign with a workday on a Habitat house. They looked good hanging sheetrock and putting up soffit.
Better Than a Whitewash Job
Tom Sawyer would have been really glad to have these friends! Covenant Church of Texoma sent a great delegation of painters on a recent Saturday morning to paint, then repaint, then touch up all the interior doors.
They're At It Again
Faithful volunteers from Bucyrus spent a Saturday workday putting up sheetrock on House #21. They have also volunteered on houses #16, #17, #19, and #20. Do you see a pattern here?
Scouts in Action
Van Alstyne Cub Scouts, Pack 6 Wolf Den did their good deed for the day, installing a doorbell and cleaning floors on a recent Saturday afternoon.
To Make the Best Better
Students from 4-H chapters in North Texas recently gathered on a spring day to deliver lunch to worksite volunteers.
Cobalt Capital Partners...
... picked up the power tools to frame a backyard storage building in Van Alstyne.
Hanging sheetrock
An enthusiastic group from Covenant Presbyterian Church in Sherman volunteered a day on House #20. You can tell that they spent the day hanging sheetrock (check out the white knees!)
Mission Possible Kids...
...from First United Methodist Church in Van Alstyne have a heart for Habitat.
They invited volunteers into the church with a big banner of welcome, fixed and served lunch for more than 30 people, decorated and donated nail aprons for use on the work site, and wrote words of blessing on a 2' X 4' that will be used in framing the next house.
Mystery...
These women of love, mystery, and intrigue put down their pens to pick up hammers on the work site. The Romance Writers of America completed the sheetrock for House #20. No doubt they are planning ways to include Habitat for Humanity in a future book.
Texas Instruments Volunteers
Scott Tiede and his crew of engineers from Texas Instruments have helped frame the last three houses. The slide rule guys want to make every corner perfect.
