40th Anniversary
Holston Habitat for Humanity-Faith Build
Former FPC member Elizabeth Ann Hay co-founded the Holston Habitat for Humanity affiliate serving the Tri-Cities and beyond. A Faith build, three-bedroom home for three generations, Matt, his daughter and granddaughter, will take place this year in February through May at 1601 E. Sevier Avenue.
FPC Outreach Committee has committed funds for this Faith build. FPC’s work week will be Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, April 9, 11 and 12 to paint interior walls, ceiling, trim, doors. Ten FPC volunteers, if possible, will be needed each day.
How can you help? You can pray for the family and the construction workers; provide individual financial support; volunteer to help with construction; feed lunch to 15 workers including Holston Habitat “regulars” each day for three days; make something for the home; celebrate by attending the home dedication and open house. FPC youth can participate – 16–17-year-olds and 14–15-year-olds with adult supervision.
Gary Tucker will help lead this effort on behalf of the Outreach Committee. Contact Gary to let him know how you will help with this Faith Build. 423-378-5419; tuckersbigblue@chartertn.net
In 2025, Holston Habitat for Humanity will reach the milestone of serving 400 families since its inception. This year, First Presbyterian Church Kingsport will have built or helped build and fund more than twenty homes.
