“Habitat for Humanity was able to help a record number of families in need of homes this year,” said Jonathan Reckford, CEO of Habitat for Humanity International. “That was due, in large part, to the unwavering commitment of affiliates to continue their work in communities. The ‘Pioneer in Excellence’ awards allow us to recognize extraordinary levels of determination and achievement and to thank those who so faithfully carry out our mission.”
“We are honored to receive this award on behalf of our community,” said Wendy McDonald, Executive Director of Bay-Waveland Habitat. “With the help of volunteers, donors, sponsors and friends we are rebuilding hopes, lives and dreams here in Hancock County, Mississippi.”
Since 2006, Bay-Waveland Habitat for Humanity has helped to make homeownership possible for more than 120 families, by partnering with them to build attractive, comfortable, energy-efficient, environmentally responsible houses that are also affordable. |
