Habitat GFW will serve 26 families — 24 in Allen County and two in Huntington County throughout the 2024-25 season.
34 New Families Joined Habitat!
This month we welcomed 34 qualified families from Allen County into our Homeownership Program. It was a wonderful night to celebrate this accomplishment for each future homeowner and go over expectations and what the next 12-24 months will look like as they complete the program.
volunteer appreciation
Thank you Jerry + Bill
We celebrated our Crew Leads and construction team with a summer picnic and recognized Jerry Spice and Bill Scott with a Habitat hammer plaque for their dedicated service to Habitat GFW families.
We could not do what we do without this amazing group. They guide our volunteers on the construction site, donate countless hours of their time every week, and put God’s love into action for our Partner Families. Thank you Habitat GFW Crew Leads!
Updated Home Elevations
One of our construction goals this season was to add more texture and interest to our homes’ front elevations while maintaining affordability. As you drive around the Ren. Pointe neighborhood in Fort Wayne you’ll see that we’ve added board and batten siding and updated roof lines as seen above in our 3-bed, 2-bath floorplan.
Thank you Trevor Bauer for donating your time to help us improve our homes and continue investing in Southeast Fort Wayne!
What’s New
Penny Pitch Recipient!
Wow! We are honored to be named WOWO’s 77th Annual Penny Pitch recipient! Their golf outing will be held this Thursday, July 25 with many more events to come…stay tuned.
ProFed Panel Build
Thank you ProFed for sponsoring a panel build this July! We had a great time in their parking lot (and may have enjoyed some amazing coffee from their neighbors at Firefly).
Lunches Needed
Our construction volunteers and Partner Families are provided free lunch and fellowship for their day on the job site. Help us feed them by ordering ahead or dropping lunch off — you can even make a donation and let us know it’s for lunches!
