Lake agassiz Habitat for Humanity ceLebrates 20 years

Anniversaries prompt us to remember, reflect, and rejoice. Lake Agassiz Habitat for Humanity invited the community to come together as the organization celebrated its 20th anniversary of serving families in Cass and Clay counties with a family event at Rheault Farm on July 21. Executive director Shirley Dykshoorn said the event was a “fun-filled family celebration of building hope with families in the two counties.”

W ith food, music by the Front Fenders, Games Galore, activities for the kids, and a silent auction, those in attendance were definitely treated to a good time. Sponsors for the event were IdeaOne and Thrivent Financial for Lutherans.

Lake Agassiz Habitat for Humanity has partnered with 40 families as they walked the journey of homeownership, with 20 purchasing homes in just the past four years. Dykshoorn said that these families are a testament to what it means to be a community that cares for those who need a hand, not a hand out. Here’s to 20 more years of building hope through homeownership. [AWM]
