BCS Habitat Participates in 83rd Annual Christmas Parade 12/07/2009 |
The Home Depot has been a Corporate Challenge participant in the past and we’re thrilled to have them on board again this year. The Home Depot team always comes out to the construction site with a great attitude, ready to work and experience all the good stuff that comes with Corporate Challenge – the team building, the comaraderie and most of all, the knowledge that their hard work and generosity will change lives here in Bryan/College Station!
Habitours
3rd Thursday of every month
Meet at the Habitat office at 11:30
Free lunch will be provided
Take a tour with other interested community members and Habitat staff to see the solid, durable homes BCS Habitat for Humanity builds to replace some of the substandard housing that unfortunately still very much exists throughout Bryan/College Station.
Habitour begins with a free lunch at the Habitat office and a chance to talk with a Habitat family and Habitat staff about the Habitat mission. Then, everyone climbs aboard a van and tours some of the Habitat subdivisions and a few other areas in Bryan with Habitat homes. In sharp contrast to some of the substandard housing you’ll see as we drive through Bryan, you’ll see firsthand what a difference a Habitat home can make.
“Habitours give visitors a look at the important work Habitat is doing in our community and the impact it is making in our neighborhoods,” says Abby Johnson, BCS Habitat for Humanity Director of Communications.
The next Habitour is scheduled for March 18 at 11:30. Please call the Habitat office at 823-7200 to save your spot!
The Walker family home – Habitat’s 20th Anniverary home - was dedicated on Saturday, February 20th.
It was really a special day, watching Erica and her four daughters receive the keys to the home they’ve worked so hard for.

Current Builds A group of five local Catholic churches are sharing God’s love in a very tangible way. Tenacity, determination, and the generous hearts of these church members have resulted in another Habitat home nearing completion in the Angels Gate subdivision in Bryan. The 2009 Catholic Build home is nearing completion and will be dedicated in March.
Please note that the Dedication of this home has been rescheduled for March 20th at 9 AM.
  Local Apostles Help Build Family’s Dream Home
Felicia Cunningham’s life is about to change. Eleven local churches, in partnership with Habitat for Humanity, are building what Felicia Cunningham calls her “dream home”.  “St. Thomas feels very privileged to be partnering with Habitat, the Cunningham family, and other area churches on the Apostle's Build. It's a wonderful example of what people of faith can accomplish with God's help when we all work together”, said the Rev. Lisa S. Hines of St. Thomas Episcopal Church.   Felicia, Tela (12), Tzay (8), and Tesha’s (4) lives have a brighter future because of the 11 local churches who have come together to further Habitat’s mission to provide shelter for families in need. Just as the disciples worked to spread Jesus’ word, local churches work together to spread Habitat’s mission through the Apostles Build.
