The HTPA Board of Directors is proud to announce the designation of Houston Habitat for Humanity for the 2009 HTPA charitable gift.

Organized by HTPA Board Chairwoman Lory Tauber Don, approximately 40 HTPA member volunteers and friends convened at Houston Habitat for Humanity and participated in a "wall build" on June 25th. The experience was instructive and personally rewarding for everyone involved.

Following the June 25th "wall build", the Board investigated the possibility of HTPA participating in an actual "homesite build". What the board learned was this: there is an abundance of volunteer labor at Houston Habitat; however, there is not an abundance of money.

Habitat for Humanity relies on the kindness of strangers. All funding comes from corporate and individual donations. The cost to build a new Habitat Home is below market, but substantial none the less. If you're considering a charitable contribution, consider Houston Habitat for Humanity. You'll help a family in need, and feel good about it.
