Seasons Greetings!
This year Habitat for Humanity International (HFHI) is celebrating its 35th anniversary. Since the organization's founding, HFHI has spread across the globe building over 350,000 new homes and is now building homes in 93 countries. Locally, Habitat STW is celebrating its 30th anniversary. As the 10th affiliate of HFHI, Habitat STW has a proud history of making a difference in the lives of hundreds of families. Here in West St. Tammany, the affiliate has constructed 199 homes and through the affiliate's tithe we have helped build 134 new homes in Uganda.
I would like to invite you to join us in celebrating both of these anniversaries by attending Breakfast at Tiffany's on April 10 from 11:30am - 2:30pm. Breakfast at Tiffany's is a family-fun event that helps raise funds to enable the affiliate to continue its mission. This year funds raised at Breakfast at Tiffany's will be used to construct a home for a new partner family. The event will feature bowling, great food, prize drawings, and children's activities. To order your tickets, visit www.habitatstw.org/tiffanys.
Hope to see you there!

Youth CAN Volunteer | | |
Did you know that kids can volunteer with Habitat STW?
Even if they are not old enough to build a house or work in the Habitat ReStore on North Lane, we have creative projects that can fit the needs and interests of various youth groups, while educating them about what Habitat does and how they are directly helping others.
