CONSTRUCTION
Posted by margaret on December 2nd 2008 in NewsThis holiday season we all have much to be thankful for and South Toward Home is no exception. We are so grateful for all of the volunteers and partner organizations we have had the honor to work with over the last three years. We also owe the City of Pass Christian a huge debt of gratitude for letting us keep the Gray Hut as our headquarters. Together we have all accomplished so much. We have helped 267 families get back in homes. Not only did we build 61 homes from scratch but we also repaired 206 houses since the recovery began.
We also cannot overlook the generosity of the comedy community. Stand-up comedians may seem an unlikely champion of the cause but they have continued to support the work. So many performers have given their time to help keep the construction humming along we really could not have done it without them.
Now our work in Pass Christian has come to a close and we are thrilled with all that we have achieved. It was really a remarkable experience to be a part of such a conscientious and genuine effort to restore a community one family at a time.
Check back in 2009 to see what we are working toward next!!! Happy Holidays!
