Houston, get ready to witness the magic of community spirit and compassion as KPRC 2 embarks on its 11th annual home build with Houston Habitat for Humanity! The construction festivities kicked off with great enthusiasm on a sunny Wednesday, and we’ve got all the exciting details just for you.
Our intrepid Houston Life reporter, Lauren Kelly, was on the scene at the Robin’s Landing development in northeast Houston, capturing the heartwarming moments as volunteers, a fantastic team from our title sponsor UTHealth Houston, joined forces to raise walls onto the home’s foundation. It’s not just about constructing a house; it’s about building a future filled with hope and stability.
This marks KPRC 2′s 11th collaboration with Habitat for Humanity, a partnership that continues to thrive and make a positive impact on the lives of deserving families. Imagine the joy in April when a well-deserving family gets to call this beautiful new home their own!
The passion for community service echoed through the air as one UTHealth Houston volunteer shared, “We love serving the community. Housing security is a basic human need. So is health care, so it’s perfect for our mission. We’re from the community, and we’d like to give back to the community.” It’s not just a construction project; it’s a testament to the power of collective kindness and the belief that everyone deserves a safe and comfortable place to call home.
But wait, the excitement doesn’t stop there! The project is set to continue and on Thursday, the action moves to the parking lot of KPRC 2 itself. Yes, you read that right! Volunteers will be rolling up their sleeves, hard hats on, as they come together to build walls for yet another Habitat for Humanity home. It’s a hands-on, boots-on-the-ground effort that showcases the commitment of our community to making a real difference.
As the walls go up, so do the spirits of a community united in compassion. Stay tuned for more updates on KPRC 2′s annual home build, where each nail hammered and each wall raised brings us one step closer to a world where everyone has a place to call home.
