It takes a village to lay sod! 🌱🏠
Catholic Coalition Build future homeowner Romia was joined by Bad Moms That Dance, Catholic High School students, and other volunteers to help put the finishing touches on her future home.

We look forward to celebrating with her at the home dedication later this month as she begins this exciting new chapter! 💙 Thank you to all those who came out to help!

We’re excited to introduce Cortessia as our Interfaith Build future homeowner! Next Saturday, she will be joined by family, friends, and the community to bless the build and raise the walls.

A dedicated mother of four, Cortessia is excited to provide her children with the stability and security of a place to call their own. Quality time with her family is a top priority, and they look forward to cooking together and making memories in their new home.

Her favorite part of the Habitat for Humanity program has been building relationships with her fellow partners. She has appreciated the encouragement, friendships, and sense of community they have built.

We’re honored to walk alongside Cortessia and her family as they begin an exciting new chapter in their Habitat homeownership journey: the construction of their future home. After years of determination and perseverance, Cortessia is taking this meaningful next step toward turning her long-held dream of homeownership into reality.

A huge thank you to Taylor Porter for returning for their second year as a Topgolf sponsor!

Their support for Habitat goes well beyond the golf bay. From volunteering on the build site to serving on our Board of Directors, Taylor Porter continues to give their time, leadership, and resources to help further our mission.

We’re grateful for a partner that shows up in so many ways to help build stronger families and a stronger Greater Baton Rouge community. 💙🏠

Thank you, Taylor Porter, for continuing to build with us — on the job site, in the boardroom, and at Topgolf! ⛳

✨ Volunteer Spotlight: Tucker Wascome✨

Thank you, Tucker, for your incredible commitment to Habitat for Humanity of Greater Baton Rouge!

This summer, Tucker volunteered throughout our organization, serving in the ReStore, on our build sites, and in our office, where he helped work on our construction manual.

When asked about his experience, Tucker shared:

"My favorite thing about Habitat has been the people. Everyone here has been incredibly kind and welcoming."

We're grateful for the time, talent, and energy Tucker invested in our mission. Thank you for helping us build strength, stability, and self-reliance through shelter! 🏠💙

There’s nothing like a Habitat Staff Build Day! 🏠💙💚

Team members from our office and both ReStore locations traded their usual workday for a day on the build site, with our Construction team providing the expertise to keep us moving!

Together, we helped bring the LSU Greek Life Build one step closer to the finish line by tackling final paint and shoe mould.

Of course, a good day of teamwork deserved a good lunch! We wrapped things up together at Barracuda. 🌮

We may work in different departments and locations, but days like this are a great reminder that we’re all building toward the same mission.

Leadership in Action: Learning From One Another

On Friday, Habitat leaders from across Louisiana and the Mississippi Gulf Coast recently came together to share the challenges facing their affiliates and have candid conversations about:

• What’s working
• What isn’t working
• Challenges unique to their communities
• Opportunities to collaborate, learn, and strengthen our collective impact

We’re grateful for the leadership and perspectives shared by:
• Marguerite Oestreicher – Executive Director, New Orleans Area Habitat for Humanity
• Chris Monforton – Chief Executive Officer, Habitat for Humanity of the Mississippi Gulf Coast and Habitat for Humanity Baldwin County
• Kathy Gardner – President and Chief Executive Officer, Habitat for Humanity of North Louisiana
• Melinda Taylor – Executive Director, Lafayette Habitat for Humanity
• Ritchie Goebel – Chief Executive Officer, Habitat for Humanity of Greater Baton Rouge
• Kendrell Jones – Executive Director, East St. Tammany Habitat for Humanity
• Terri Gage – President and Chief Executive Officer, Habitat for Humanity St. Tammany West and Washington Habitat for Humanity

Conversations like these help us learn from one another, strengthen our affiliates, and find better ways to serve families across our communities.

Stronger affiliates. Stronger partnerships. Greater impact.

🏡 Building Community, One Pantry at a Time

A special thank you to St. George Catholic Church and St. Paul the Apostle Catholic Church for coming together to meet with future homeowner Mia and hear her vision for her new pantry! 💙🔨

This gathering represents so much more than planning a space in a home—it reflects a renewed partnership rooted in service and community.

The partnership between St. George and St. Paul originally began in 1994, when Father Ranzino of St. George and Father Joseph Guidry, SVD, of St. Paul brought the two churches together to provide material assistance and walk alongside families in the St. Paul and Eden Park communities.

We’re grateful to see that spirit of partnership continuing through support of Mia and her journey to homeownership. Thank you to everyone from St. George and St. Paul for listening, serving, and helping make her house feel like home.

Would your church, business, organization, or community group like to support one of our future homeowners? We’d love to connect with you! Contact [email protected] to learn how your group can get involved.

A car can help build more than miles. It can help build a future. 💙💚

A special thank you to Monica from Gonzales, who recently donated her Altima through Habitat for Humanity’s . Her generous donation will help support our mission of creating affordable homeownership opportunities in Greater Baton Rouge.

As Monica shared:
“"We give to Habitat for Humanity because they contribute to such important work: building communities by building homes. Donating was incredibly easy and simple. We are proud to join them in helping others become homeowners. Home is a precious place.”

Thank you, Monica, for turning your vehicle into an investment in local families and stronger communities.

Have a car, truck, boat or other vehicle you no longer need? Consider donating it through Cars for Homes and help Habitat build more homes, stability and opportunity. https://www.habitat.org/support/donate-your-car
