We had so much fun at Memphis’ first Park(ing) Day. Tucker and Mark came up with a really fun concept that we hope illustrated HFH at its best: healing through community, art, play, and love for others.
Our installation included the following: a conversation pit around the fire, a community art project, live music, and outdoor table tennis (straight from the red barn). At one point, a professional on his lunch break played ping-pong with a homeless man. It was neat to provide a space for this sort of interaction to occur. We had some great feedback on the interactive display, and we hope that just a few more people in Memphis learned more about Habitat for Hope and our work in this city.

Paint with us!

It's getting there...

Finished!


Habitat for Hope has some wonderful news! The staff is expecting two new babies in late October and early November! Ginny Gross is due October 29th and Becky Davis is due November 10th. We have been needing more staff.
We are so excited to announce that our dear friends and former HFH parents, Bo and Lindy Oswalt are making preparations to join HFH staff! This add has been in the works for some time, and is a huge win to our growing team – Bo is an ordained Baptist minister and Lindy is a certified mental health counselor. Even more importantly, their experience and continued growing desire to invest and build relationship with hurting families fits perfectly for Habitat for Hope. Their four children, Spencer, Carter, Isabella and Landon are ALSO excited about the move to Memphis! Spencer informed Samuel and Izaiah recently that he lives “here”: on the HFH property. Mouths of babes!
