Exploring New Partnership Opportunities: Habitat for Humanity hosted 21 community leaders for a tour of our newly completed St. Charles home and Green Freedom, our innovative net-zero neighborhood in Aurora.
Attendees included pastors and church leaders from seven local churches as well as an Alderman and the Mayor of St. Charles. The event celebrated the work of the Potawatomie Church Partnership and the many volunteers whose dedication helped make homeownership possible for local families.
The gathering also sparked meaningful conversations about future collaboration, with several churches expressing interest in deeper involvement, particularly in supporting Habitat's hospitality efforts and ongoing ministry partnerships. We look forward to building on this momentum and expanding our impact together. |
