We would like to send a special thank you to Wells Fargo, who has provided both funding and volunteers for many years! Since 2009, Wells Fargo has donated more than $790,000 to support our vision of ensuring that everyone in our community has a safe and healthy home.
This year, Wells Fargo provided us with a grant for $80,000 to assist nine low-income homeowners in the Twin Cities and Southwest Minnesota. Thank you!
We would like to send a thank you to Warners’ Stellian for donating a gift certificate that we can use towards an appliance for one of the homeowners we will help. Thank you!
Please join us as we welcome Russell Richards as our Construction Coordinator! Russell has extensive carpentry and management experience. He served as an Army Ranger for six years, and was awarded the distinguished Purple Heart medal twice during his service.
