Greetings! 

HFH St. Tammany West has maintained its aggressive posture to eliminate substandard housing by setting a goal to "go another 100 yards" building 100 houses with partner families within the next two years. This affiliate is proud to announce its progress for the first half of this year (from January 1 - June 1, 2008): Has completed 19 homes and has 18 homes under construction to be completed this month! This newsletter will give you a glimpse into our success.
Thank You for Keeping Our Goals On-Target!
Your individual donations, corporate donations and gifts-in-kind have been recognized and appreciated by over a thousand local and international volunteers so far this year lending a hand-up to partner families in west St. Tammany. Please visit our website to see a full listing of our sponsors and Carpenter Club members who are truly integral to our mission's success. Thank you all!

Jimmy & Rosalynn Carter Work Project
The Carters visit HFHSTW staff and volunteers despite rain storm.
 
HFHSTW staff and hundreds of volunteers thank our financial and gift-in-kind sponsors who made the Carter Work Project possible. LOCAL SPONSORS included: Abita Brewery, AmeriCorps, CBG Enterprises, Inc./Zen-noh, CLECO, Florida Marine Transportation, Friends of Marilyn, Golf Cart World, Lakeview Regional Medical Center, Mars Snackfood, St. Tammany Parish Tourist Commission, St. Tammany Parish, President Kevin Davis, State Farm and The Salvation Army. THANK YOU ALL!
 
Our volunteer surveys after the event were VERY positive overall. One volunteer commented, "Everything about this experience was amazing and truly wonderful! Everyone was enthusiastic, patient, knowledgeable, and very organized. I fully intend to remain active with Habitat. When I met the homeowner and her son, I gained a broader perspective on Katrina's effects and saw how the house we were building was going to be a home. Thank you for the opportunity to help others!"
