www.habitatejc.org 2012-2013 Annual Report to the Community
Letter from the DirectorNo doubt about it, 2012 was a remarkable
year.
We started the year with a resolution to serve 50 families in
five years, and we made some great progress:
• Volunteers built four new houses in Port Townsend, including a
house built in 11 days• Partners and volunteers repaired four homes
in Quilcene• We celebrated the completion of our 25th house
That’s eight local families served with simple, decent
housing.
That’s not all. By sharing ten percent of our undesignated
contributions, we sponsored four new homes in Brazil, bringing the
number of overseas homes we have built to 30 in the past 14 years.
It’s truly remarkable, especially when you know that some consider
this community too small to serve even one family a year.
What does it take to pull off such a tremendous accomplishment?
I can answer it in one word – People. Habitat could never do it
without the people who:
• Wield hammer and saw to contribute more than 2,500 hours
building every new Habitat house• Repair homes in Quilcene• Make
lunches for other volunteers • Give generously, from contributions
of $15 to full house sponsorships of $65,000• Serve on committees•
Help in one of Habitat’s two stores or drive the Habitat truck•
Prepare families for the responsibilities of homeownership• Help
keep the books or answer phones
We begin 2013 with grateful hearts, thankful for the opportunity
to be part of a remarkable community of neighbors. I look forward
to meeting more of my neighbors this year as we work together to
eliminate substandard housing in East Jefferson County, one house
and one family at a time.
Warmly,
Jamie Maciejewski
Jean Camfield Board President“Habitat for me is about
family. In our 14+ years we have served 34 families with 66
children. We have a family of 350+ volunteers and staff
who make this all happen. Please join our Habitat family in 2013
and help us meet our goal of serving 50 families in the next 5
years.”

for children to play and families to gather, where neighbors form
friendships over many years, and the grocery store and doctor’s
office are a short walk away.
Thanks to the vision and generosity of many people, this picture
is becoming reality.
Several years ago, Habitat acquired property near Seaport
Landing, thanks in part to a generous donation from local couple
Sol and Vivian Raymond. Now, plans are moving forward.
The project, named Nora’s Neighborhood in memory of the late
Nora Porter, includes a pocket park and paths that connect to the
City’s trail system. It is being financed in part by a $50,000
fundraising campaign among friends and admirers of Mrs. Porter.
Former Speaker of the House Lynn Kessler and local citizen Jean
Camfield are co-chairing the campaign. The campaign is halfway to
its goal, but now we need your help! To learn more or to

On a mild December afternoon, the joy in a crowded Habitat home
was palpable when Habitat House Sponsors Chris and Carolyn Eagan
handed the keys to new homeowner Vicky Baron. Chris and Carolyn’s
experience as Habitat for Humanity House Sponsors lasted just over
a year, but some would say it is part of their life’s journey.
Both Eagans grew up in strong Catholic families where service
was a way of life. After they married in 1968, they joined the
newly-created VISTA program, Volunteers in Service to America.
During their year in what is sometimes referred to as the domestic
Peace Corps, the couple provided job training to chronically under-
and unemployed workers. Both chose careers in service to others,
Carolyn as a nurse and Chris as a lawyer representing injured
workers. Four wonderful children and 10 grandchildren ensued.
A few years ago, Carolyn’s parents were aging and her dad’s
cancer was progressing,
requiring her parents to move into assisted living. Chris and
Carolyn helped them financially with the move and loaned them money
to get their house ready to sell. After her dad passed away two
years ago and the parents’ house sold, the money came back to Chris
and Carolyn.
“Home has always meant a lot to us,” says Carolyn, “and we
wanted that for someone else. So, in honor of my parents for giving
me a stable home as a child, Chris and I decided to give the money
to Habitat for Humanity to build a home with a family in need.”
When that cozy Habitat house was recently filled to overflowing
with Chris and Carolyn in the middle of the celebration, it was no
surprise that joy spilled over in tears and smiles from the nearly
75 in attendance. One more family accepted both the reward and
responsibility of homeownership, including an affordable mortgage.
Carolyn’s and Chris’s smiles lit up their faces, with the knowledge
that their gift had made this possible.
Now in retirement, Chris loves to golf and volunteers at St.
Vincent de Paul, meeting with families in need throughout Jefferson
County. Carolyn was recently elected to the Board of Trustees for
Seattle Opera and coordinates the opera’s education volunteers.
Carolyn is also a dedicated Habitat volunteer in the store, serving
on several committees, and on the Board of Directors.
➧ House Sponsors commit $65,000 to fund the cash construction
costs of a Habitat for Humanity house. The donation can be paid at
once or over as many as five years. To learn more, contact

4 Habitat for Humanity of East Jefferson County
www.habitatejc.org 2012-2013 Annual Report to the Community
Habitat for Humanity has helped 30 families in East Jefferson
County (and counting!) realize the dream of homeownership. It takes
a high level of commitment from the families in order to see this
dream come to fruition. Many of our families have come to us
looking for the stability that homeownership provides. According to
the Department of Housing and Urban Development, the fair market
rent for a three bedroom home in Jefferson County comes in at a
whopping $1,186 per month, making safe housing nearly impossible
for a family living on a limited income.
Habitat steps in to assist families who have a housing need, the
ability to pay back an affordable mortgage and the willingness to
partner with Habitat. In return, the families commit to 250 to 400
hours of sweat equity, spending their money wisely, and to ongoing
training. Our goal is to prepare families for homeownership through
monthly classes and instruction. We help our homeowners learn how
to maintain their homes and when to call for help. We cover basic
landscaping, home finances and how to grow a sense of community in
their neighborhoods. All of these things prepare them for the day
they are handed the keys to their new home.
Year after year studies confirm the benefits of homeownership
for families. Children of homeowners are 25% more likely to
graduate from high school and 116% more likely to graduate from
college. Along with increased success in education is the benefit
that comes from sharing a neighborhood with other homeowners.
Homeowners take pride in their homes, devoting time and attention
to the upkeep of their yards and neighborhoods. We often hear from
Habitat homeowners about the strong sense of community they share
with their neighbors that didn’t exist when they were renters or in
other temporary housing situations.
The savings for the homeowner don’t stop with an affordable
purchase price and low cost financing. Features like the ductless
heat pump, extensive air sealing and beefed up insulation all
combine to provide a home which costs less to own than rent. These
savings allow families to plan ahead. Families who only dreamed of
saving money each month now have that opportunity, and know that
with each monthly payment they are building equity that will
provide them with some security for the future.
Looking at the tapestry of Habitat for Humanity from a distance
you’ll see homes and families, volunteers and celebrations,
shoppers and donors all coming together to form something
beautiful. If you take a closer look, you’ll see that all of it is
held together with the common thread of relationships. Many of
those who shop in the Habitat store also donate items. Many of our
300 volunteers serve in more than one capacity.
One of the most important threads that runs through our
organization is the role that Habitat homeowners play after they
move into their home.
Karen Burge moved into her Habitat home in Irondale 10 years
ago, and continues to play a vital role in the support of families
building homes. Karen’s current role was shaped by her experience
teaching English as a Second Language in Mexico. She first
connected with Habitat upon returning to the United States to begin
a career in healthcare and to the Olympic Peninsula where her
parents had retired.
“It was during all these beginning steps that I first heard of
Habitat of East Jefferson County. I had taken my daughter Angela
into the Health Department for an appointment. While waiting, I
noticed a flyer
soliciting applications for a Habitat house in Irondale. I
didn’t even know where Irondale was! More from curiosity than
anything else, I called the number listed.
Understand that at this point, all I knew about Habitat was from
news stories about Jimmy Carter. I knew Habitat helped build houses
for impoverished people in third world countries. I never dreamed
that individual Habitat organizations existed to do the same in the
United States.”
It wasn’t long before Karen was building alongside volunteers
and seeing her dreams of homeownership become reality.
It didn’t end with a home for her family. Karen has gone on to
spread the word about the opportunities available to families in
our community. As a Habitat homeowner and an active member of St.
Mary Star of the Sea Parish, Karen has served as a Spanish
translator and has facilitated Habitat house ceremonies.
This time the common thread in the tapestry of Habitat and the
model for giving back to the community happens to be another
Habitat homeowner.

2012-2013 Annual Report to the Community 5
Volunteer and Neighbor Like many Port Townsend residents, Penny
Vorster is a bit of a rolling stone. Although born and raised in
Minnesota, she soon headed west where she met and married Arnold, a
Methodist pastor and Afrikaner from South Africa. It was during
their time with the church that Penny first learned about Habitat
for Humanity and its mission. “My husband and I were very impressed
that Habitat provided a hand-up rather than a hand-out.” Although
not able to volunteer at the time, the Vorsters were again
introduced to Habitat’s work. After 41 years of service to the
church, they were able to retire. They sold their house and
traveled the country in a motor home for the next seven years.
During their travels around the country, they became lifelong
friends with several Care-A-Vanners, a group of volunteers who
travel the country in their RVs to help build Habitat houses.
Although the Vorster schedule precluded them from participating in
a Care-A-Vanner event, Penny was impressed with
their friendly, professional manner and how they began each day
with a devotion.
Penny and Arnold eventually decided to settle in Port Townsend.
As luck would have it, shortly after moving into their home on Eddy
Street, Habitat started work on the first of six homes right across
the street. This was the Vorster’s third encounter with Habitat,
and it turned out to be the longest-lasting one. Penny immediately
signed up to work on the first house, and helped with construction
on three of the homes before exchanging her hammer for a greeter’s
clipboard.
She loves living across the street from Habitat families and
continuing the relationships she established with them. She has
been to all of the Eddy Street home dedications and is always moved
by the show of support from family, friends and members of the
community.
One of Penny’s most memorable Habitat experiences is her
involvement with the Home Builders Blitz. She had the awesome task
of signing in the many volunteers that worked on the house over the
11 day period. She was
It takes many hands to build a home. Pictured are volunteers
from the Boiler Room, 4H Jefferson County and Habitat.
The Gift of TimeOn a cold and rainy Saturday morning, while many
of us were still curled up in a warm bed, a small but dedicated
group of folks from the Boiler Room stood huddled around the
jobsite while they received their instructions for the day.
Trudging through the mud and wiping the rain out of their eyes,
they hauled gravel in wheelbarrows and used rakes and shovels to
construct driveways for our two newest Habitat houses. It was
amazing to watch. But what’s more amazing is that it happens every
day in our community.
Countless volunteers commit their time and talents to Habitat.
It takes more than 2,500 volunteer hours to build one house. Last
year, over 15,000 hours were selflessly given by friends of Habitat
in support of our mission. The majority of our office volunteers
have been with us
for over five years. Every Tuesday, more than 20 volunteers
operate in perfect synchrony to process donations in the Habitat
Store. Many of these volunteers also serve on committees, helping
to guide Habitat as we continue to grow and serve more families.
Habitat’s Office & Volunteer Coordinator Melissa McSwain says
“It is wonderful working with volunteers because you work with
people who really want to be here.” Friendships are formed,
connections made and laughter shared, culminating in that day when
a grateful family is given the keys to a new home and volunteers
take pride in knowing that they helped to build it. A wise man once
said, “Time is free, but it’s priceless.”
We at Habitat couldn’t agree more.
most impressed with seeing the volunteers, families, and
neighbors come together. “I was able to meet new people and
experience the satisfaction of helping a very deserving family
build a home of their own.” Penny continues to be the friendly face
of Habitat, signing in volunteers at the jobsite, rain or shine.
“People think you have to do big things to make a big impact, but
with Habitat you learn that every little bit helps.”

experience of Habitat exceeded our high expectations. It provided
us an opportunity to meet like-minded people, and develop
relationships as we worked together. Habitat is a great
organization, helping people to help themselves. It was great to be
a part of something we really believe in! “

Building a Better HomeBefore getting selected for a Habitat
home, many of our homeowners lived in low-cost rental houses. Doors
and windows leaked air, crawlspaces were damp and often infested
with rodents, and utility bills were sky high. As an alternative,
Habitat is working hard to build homes that are energy efficient,
durable, and affordable for families in need.
“Our duty is to keep Habitat homes affordable for our
homeowners, many people seem astonished when they learn about all
of the energy efficient techniques we integrate into our building
process,” says Construction Manager Collin Jacobsen.
Construction volunteers air seal and insulate the outside of new
homes and as a result, Habitat has been able to achieve a Home
Energy Rating System (HERS) score of 65 on new homes. The HERS
scale rates the energy efficiency of homes based
on insulation, air sealing, and electrical use by appliances.
This means that Habitat homes are 65% more efficient than the
typical existing home and 35% more efficient than the typical new
home. All testing is performed by an independent verifier through
Northwest Energy Star.
Beginning in 2012, new Habitat homes are built on slab
foundations that eliminate the chance of pest infestation, rot,
mold, and water infiltration into crawlspaces. The exterior is clad
with fiber cement siding that resists rot and does not need to be
painted for many years. A mini-split ductless heat pump is capable
of heating the entire home for just a few dollars each month and,
thanks to local contractors, the system is affordable to low-income
families.
Building high quality, affordable housing is our goal and the
benefits improve the quality of life of our homeowners. Building
this type of home and keeping it affordable is a challenge that
could not be met if not for the dedication of many volunteers and
the contributions of local contractors. We at Habitat, and the 28
families now living in Habitat homes, are grateful.
Long time Habitat volunteer Jerry Rowe does finish work.
Townsend, Chimacum, Quilcene – Here we go!Last year Dr. Jim and
Noreen Mc Carron donated three large lots in Chimacum’s Brookside
Estates to Habitat for Humanity. This coming year the first parcel
will be developed with a new family expected to move in next
winter. Through this very generous donation, Habitat is now able to
expand and meet more needs in our community. Many volunteers who
donate their time in Port Townsend are thrilled to build in
Chimacum. Jerry Rowe is one of them. “Chimacum is my home. I grew
up in the area and I went to school in Chimacum so I’m very happy
to be working here,” said Jerry.
Shold Excavating installs the first septic system in early
February. In time, a new family will enjoy a simple, decent,
affordable home. Habitat will also build three new homes on Cliff
Street in Port Townsend and complete six repair projects in
Quilcene.
Completing projects in three different locations will require
more volunteer help than usual. Volunteer coordinator Melissa
McSwain will be hard at work recruiting volunteers to keep
construction moving on all three sites in addition to the store and
office. In order to meet the needs, a number of volunteer groups
are scheduled.
In March, Collegiate Challenge will bring eight college students
to Port Townsend for a week. In May Habitat will sponsor a
week-long Women Build and in the summer three Care-A -Vanner groups
come for two weeks each. Large groups are a great, but we couldn’t
do it without the help of our local volunteers. They are a blessing
to families in need of a home and an asset to East Jefferson
County.

Following the completion of the ramp, Clarence said he couldn’t
be happier; “It’s wonderful. I’m really pleased with it. I’ve been
using it and it’s perfect.”
With REPAH providing funding for materials, the Boeing Bluebills
providing project design and volunteers, and Habitat providing
additional funding and volunteer time, the project was completed in
just a couple of days. This project also sets the stage for future
partnerships with these and other organizations all sharing a heart
for those in Quilcene and throughout our county for those needing a
hand up.
Quilcene homeowners happy to be living in a safer home include
June Pope, Jane & Bob
Mathews, and Clarence Hotchkiss.
Quilcene Neighborhood Revitalization Has Begun
Quilcene Store Volunteers celebrate the one year anniversary of
their hard work!
The Quilcene Store CelebratesIt’s hard to believe that just over
a year ago the Habitat Store in Quilcene was still an empty
storefront. Thanks to a dedicated and growing group of volunteers
the store had over $14,000 in net sales last fiscal year, funding
more than three repair projects in Quilcene.
Here’s how it works. Store volunteers accept donations of
lightly used furniture, household items and antiques from
nearby
residents. Customers from near and far purchase the store items
and all the proceeds help fund exterior repair projects for local
homeowners. The projects are completed by local volunteers and
contractors.
This model has helped Habitat achieve what it has long wanted:
to serve the residents of the South County who are in need of safer
and healthier homes. The store is a strong connection for Habitat
in the community.
More than just a store, it’s a connecting point for donors,
volunteers, community supporters and families in need.
There is a lot of work to be done to meet our goal of 30 repairs
in five years, but with a solid foundation, the continued efforts
of many volunteers, and the opportunity to be a part of a
community’s renewed vision, we are excited to see it happen!
Right from the start, Habitat for Humanity’s Neighborhood
Revitalization Initiative has been focused on partnership and
collaboration. In the fall of 2010, as Habitat’s Cassandra Johnson
was meeting face to face with Quilcene residents, it was obvious
that there was a renewed spirit of cooperation in the community.
The timing seemed right to provide a piece of the puzzle for a
community drawing together to meet its challenges - Habitat’s
program to repair homes in the core area of Quilcene.
Following a great deal of planning, Habitat was able to complete
its first project, a roof replacement, and begin another extensive
roof repair project. We knew it would take a sustained presence in
the community to complete the goal of 30 repairs in five years, so
we began to explore further partnerships. It was at the crossroads
of need and resources this December that Habitat began its first
collaborative repair project involving the resources of Habitat for
Humanity, the Boeing Bluebills, and the Real Estate Professionals
for
Affordable Housing (REPAH).
The recipient was Quilcene resident Clarence Hotchkiss. With
only a short, steep ramp to reach the entryway of his home,
Clarence was in danger of injury every time he came and went.
Clarence has limited income and his disability prevented him from
taking on the project himself, but through connections at the local
food bank and Davis Steelquist, a Boeing Bluebill, he got wind of
Habitat’s repair program. Within a few weeks of applying, Clarence
had a 24 foot ramp with a slight incline, perfect for easy
access.

Treasure Trove at the Habitat Store✒ By Pam Teagarden
Wednesdays, ritual, treasures. My secret place. The Habitat for
Humanity Store. Enticed there by treasures yet undiscovered, I have
a weekly Wednesday ritual. My quest for objects of quality, perhaps
overlooked by others, a fair price, and a visit with its
volunteers, gradually becoming friends, my motive.
It’s not quite 10 a.m., the opening bell for Habitat. People are
waiting in their cars in the cold weather, the more anxious at the
door. The smiling, dedicated volunteers are seen through the glass
door, a final dusting and arranging taking place. Finally the grand
dames open the store. Some enter almost running, perhaps a
particular, previously noted object in mind. Others, like me,
stroll more leisurely, casting an eye not only at large pieces of
furniture, but at the small treasures that remain more hidden, by
happenstance as much as anything. I bring my hot coffee, recently
purchased at “Mean Bean,” an orange apricot scone from Pane D’Amore
and I am ready for my Habitat adventure.
My most rewarding purchases were unplanned, the need for the
items I
would eventually find, lying in my subconscious. Two beautiful
down comforters, just before the cold winds of winter. A beautiful
Cuisinart blender with all the attachments that my younger daughter
had wanted to make soup. Two armoires, one a French provincial, the
other of oriental design, both of real wood, tenoned joints, heavy
structure and beautiful finish. Another, a French provincial style
dining table with hand carved legs and chairs with real suede
leather seats. My most endearing was a sapphire and pearl lapel pin
that I secretly coveted, thinking my lingering pauses at the
jewelry case were going unnoticed. But then, on Christmas morning I
opened a small box, and there it lay, a present from my older
daughter.
As a professional living in Port Townsend since 1983, the
purpose of my words is more than just to file an article about an
incredibly charitable organization. It is to tell you that shopping
at Habitat, having it available in our community, is part of a
culture. It is about finding items of fine quality and
craftsmanship that cannot be purchased at today’s furniture stores
and the workmanship may have lasted through several generations at
an affordable price. It is about making new friendships with
volunteers, many or all of whom have led incredibly rich and
diverse lives.
It has enriched my life, in particular, by seeing two mothers,
whom I have known through the years, obtain a home for their
families. One, I used to see working as a gardener, her young son
alongside her in all kinds of weather. The other, a young woman who
completed her education while raising a child and now is employed
by Peninsula College.
I invite you to share this experience with me while supporting
an organization that supports this community. Come on in, not
looking for anything in particular, and you might just find what
you need. They also generously give 25% off coupons to thank you
for donating items. See you there!
✒ By Sara McMahan
In one month, 3,257 customers shopped in the Habitat Store for
quality, previously owned merchandise at just a fraction of the
cost that would have been paid had these things been bought new.
They bought furniture, kitchen supplies, appliances, jewelry,
tools, linens, antiques, and more.
The key to finding what you’re looking for or just perusing
what’s there in case something serendipitous shows up is to SHOP
OFTEN! In the Port Townsend Habitat Store, Wednesdays are the
biggest days because pick-ups and deliveries of large items happen
on Tuesdays. With the doors closed, Habitat’s energetic volunteers
scurry around like busy bees, cleaning, moving, arranging, pricing
and generally doing everything possible to make shopping fun and
easy when the store opens on Wednesday mornings for the line of
folks waiting to get in! Each month more than 66 people volunteer
at the store, with 35 additional volunteers working at the newer
Quilcene store.
Habitat Store shoppers often seem to have a system, and we
recommend their method of moving through the store.
First, be sure to check out our outside racks with lawn and
garden bargains there. When you walk through the doors, look around
you in both directions; it’s surprising how often things right
inside the doors go unnoticed. Keep your eyes open, and move in a
counter-clockwise direction through the several rooms of
merchandise. Notice the little things, too, the lamps, knick-knacks
and other small things arranged on window shelves and atop
furniture. If you love antiques, look closely throughout the store
for the quality items you may want for your home. Be sure to notice
the artwork on the walls; you may be surprised at the excellent
things made by both local and distant artists in all media.
Your next room contains odds and ends of furniture, office
supplies, luggage, linens and more furniture. It is also where you
will find the “Clearance” section with items that have been in the
store for awhile and are seriously looking for

new homes. You can find anything from sheets to yoga pads,
towels to meditation cushions. You’ll want to slow down here, for
it’s easy to miss gems among the ordinary.
As you pass through the next doorway, you come upon “man stuff”
e.g. tools of every sort imaginable, sporting goods, lighting
fixtures (actually, these are throughout the store and one must
remember to keep looking up) and appliances. Shoppers can usually
find a washer, dryer, refrigerator and/or kitchen stove here, and
the bargains are tremendous! I recently bought a used stove with
just a couple cosmetic flaws, priced at $250. Once it was
delivered, I priced a new one online for $2,300!
Straight through takes you to the kitchen and electronic
equipment. You can find almost anything you might need for your
kitchen, from silverware to coffee pots and pressure cookers, cups
galore and those odd little things
you never knew existed but now cannot live without. Take your
time here so you don’t miss it!
Moving along, our books, DVDs and similar items will be on your
right, along with a charming alcove where you can sit in a chair
and take your time looking through the titles. Most books are
priced at 99¢.
The store always has a plethora of dining table sets at truly
amazing prices. There are sets of ordinary dishes and fine china
for just about every taste, and things to store them in. You’ll
want to take the long way around so you don’t miss anything in this
wonderful department, and next you’ll find yourself in the living
room displays. The number of sofas and lounge chairs that pass
through the Habitat Store are astonishing, and remarkable bargains
can be found if you keep coming back.
Finally, you are at the check-out counter. Don’t forget to
look
over the jewelry in our wonderful glass cases. This is a perfect
spot to shop for the holidays and for gifts throughout the year.
Watches, fine rings, diamonds, costume jewelry and unique handmade
items are easy to spot, and our wonderful volunteers are always
happy to unlock the cases so you can look more closely and try on
whatever interests you.
No matter the weather or the
morning news, our shoppers are happy as they leave the store.
Many comment on the warm welcome they receive while they are with
us: ‘It feels good in here,’ and it does. The volunteers are having
fun and that energy can’t help but be contagious.
Come back often, for merchandise comes and goes quickly. It’s
generally a mistake to leave something there for a day or two when
you know right away it is what you want, for when you return with
your mind made up, there’s a good chance the item will have landed
in someone else’s home! If you’re looking for something specific,
it’s a good idea to bring in color samples, photos or anything you
wish to match. We can put a “Sale Pending” tag on things for two
hours. If you need to arrange transport for a large item, we can
store it for you for a day or three. Prices are non-negotiable, but
if an item has been there for awhile, you can leave your phone
number with an offer. Better yet, you can call ahead to inquire
whether we have the item you’re looking for, e.g. a refrigerator or
a lawn mower.
Above all, please remember that your purchases in our stores
build and repair houses for people who could not otherwise afford
them, from young families to seniors.
Wendy Nordquist
Major Donor“My mom Ruth Nordquist built Habitat houses for 18
years and finally stopped in her 80s under duress of her
children. She believed in Habitat’s mission. My mom was a woman
of action and generosity. In memory of her, I support Habitat for
Humanity of East Jefferson County.”

VolunteersThank you for giving a hand up to local families!
Home Builders Blitz 2012 – One home. 11 Days. Because of
you.
Thanks for the great truck!Working in three communities this
year, Habitat knew it greatly needed a truck to haul materials and
tools. That wish was granted
by a generous donation from Dr. Tom Hagen and his wife Zoe
Durham. Zoe said, “We are glad our truck found a good home at
Habitat.” Next time you see a 1989 Ford pickup truck around town,
make sure to wave!
