Just over ten days ago, Homes for HOPE Founder Jeff Rutt and Western U.S. Representative Drake Holtry had the opportunity to be with the Sager Family Homes team in beautiful Tacoma, Washington for the launch of their second Homes for HOPE Project. Under the gentle grey skies of the Pacific Northwest, the Sager Family team, alongside their trades, gathered in their courtyard with plenty of food and drink. It is worth noting that the youngest Homes for HOPE guest attendee to date was two-week-old baby Sager.
Last week, the Homes for HOPE team gathered in Shawnee, Kansas at the Legacy Crossing community to launch Arise Homes' very first Homes for HOPE Project. A year in the making, the day was filled with eager anticipation. Drake Holtry, the Homes for HOPE Western U.S. Representative, painted a vivid picture of HOPE's work to a crowd of guests while they savored delicious Kansas City barbeque. Joining in the celebration were Matt Mabe and Austin Chamberlin, the owners of Arise Homes, who expressed their excitement for the project. Alongside their committed trade partners, they are determined to make a positive impact on the lives of underserved individuals worldwide by providing a hand up, not a handout.
Keystone Custom Homes' newly acquired division in North Carolina (formerly Evans Coghill Homes) launched their first Homes for HOPE project on a beautiful spring day in Charlotte, North Carolina. Trade partners, suppliers, and service providers gathered in a gorgeous model home with the subtle sound of saws and hammers in the background as homes are going up quickly in the popular, developing community. After a time of connecting around a meal, division president Alan Banks along with HOPE International’s founder, Jeff Rutt and others shared the vision of leveraging the impact of the building industry to invest in the dreams of underserved families around the world.
Earlier this month Keystone Custom Homes held a trade appreciation event to celebrate the resilience, perseverance, excellence, and generosity of their trade partners and suppliers over the past five years. Homes for HOPE had the privilege of attending as well and thanking those in attendance for their sacrificial support of our mission. Utilizing Keystone’s unique Virtual Homes for HOPE Project model, they have generated donations that keep increasing year over year enabling us to serve an ever-growing number of talented entrepreneurs who are living in poverty around the world!Â
Walmart might have put Northwest Arkansas on the map, but the bike trails, cost of living, and southern hospitality have people moving to the Natural State in droves. Last week, Homes for HOPE had the opportunity to see what all the hype was about while celebrating the completion of Rausch Coleman Homes’ very first Homes for HOPE project.
It with a heavy heart that the Homes for HOPE team shares of the passing of builder partner and friend, Ron Froehlich of Froehlich Signature Homes in Bakersfield, CA.
