400th House is Habitat 'Family' Affair
|
400 houses in 25 years.
That's a lot of houses. But more importantly, that's a lot of lives changed because of the "hand up" that Knoxville Habitat for Humanity provides.
And many of those families whose lives have been touched by Knoxville Habitat for Humanity are now giving of their time and money to return the favor to help 400th homeowner Christina Upton.
Seventeen KHFH families will be represented this Saturday, Nov. 6 th when the 400 th house blitzes at 2804 Nichols Street. And 52 families contributed money to build the house, which is being funded by The Haslam Family Foundation, along with a grant from Habitat for Humanity of Tennessee and the Tennessee Housing Development Agency (THDA) (Click here to continue reading.)

For Christina Upton, owning her own home is a dream come true, and one that she never thought would be possible.
Christina will be the homeowner for the 400th house built by Knoxville Habitat for Humanity that will blitz Saturday, Nov. 6.
The Sweetwater native has lived in public housing in Western Heights with her five children since moving to Knoxville almost six years ago. She was familiar with Habitat for Humanity but didn't think the program was right for her.

This was the third year for the fundraiser. Previous performers included country music duo Brooks & Dunn and crooner Martina McBride. The event is the brain-child of Moll Anderson, a Knoxville Habitat for Humanity board member since 2006.

| Letter from the Chief Development Officer: End-of-Year Contributions
| |
 As the end of each calendar year approaches, many people make additional contributions to their favorite charity to both support the mission and enhance their own financial profile for the year's tax return.
If you find yourself in that situation, we hope you will give serious consideration to a Year End Gift to Knoxville Habitat for Humanity. Our organization continues to be successful because of the generosity of so many individuals, companies, churches, civic clubs, and other groups in the Knox County community, and each gift - regardless of size - is important in enabling us to pursue our ministry and mission as we enter our second quarter century of service in this area.
