Habitat for Humanity St. Tammany West was established shortly after Hurricane Katrina. Since its start, the chapter has successfully built nearly 300 homes for people in our local community. Habitat’s mission is to provide opportunities for people to have a decent place to live. People have the ability to enter the program based on 1) their need for housing and 2) their ability to purchase a Habitat house. Through volunteer help and community support, Habitat can provide opportunities for homeownership for those who may not be able to purchase homes on their own.

This past weekend, we were fortunate enough to finally hold our annual Family Day event! After nearly two years of not hosting the event, our team was happy to see its revival! The KDB team and their families gathered for a day of fun at First Baptist Church Covington. We’d like to graciously thank our friends at FBC Covington for allowing us to hold the event there. The outdoor pavilion with a softball field and beach volleyball courts was the perfect space for our family day!
