Home Cookin' for Habitat

On Thursday, Oct. 25, Habitat for Humanity La Crosse Area launched its All Hands In Capital Campaign. To do so, we hosted community members at Home Cookin’ for Habitat. The event was held at Colgan Air Services Hangar #4, and many local businesses sponsored the event and helped make it possible.

Pearl Street Brewery donated beer and their time to serve beverages to Habitat La Crosse’s guests. Cabin Coffee donated coffee, tea and lemonade. Subway, Pogy’s Catering, The DAMN TASTY, Fayze’s, Pappi’s Taqueria and Rudy’s all donated appetizers or desserts for guests to enjoy throughout the evening. It is safe to say the food was a big hit.

Andy Hughes gave his time and talents to entertain guests as they arrived, playing a variety of songs for the first portion of the evening. ​

​Then our program began. Brittany Styles of Z93 was our emcee for the evening. She shared the microphone with our Campaign Steering Committee Co-Chairs, Pastor Kent Johnson and Brad Sturm. The two discussed the specifics of the campaign and the need for increasing Habitat’s services in La Crosse and surrounding communities. Habitat La Crosse’s executive director, Kahya Fox, gave guests insight into the various services the organization provides and how the funds raised through the Capital Campaign will expand them.

Throughout the evening, we had a ReStore lounge set up and available for people to sit, talk and see the kind of items we have available at the Habitat La Crosse ReStore. We even had an item purchased on the night! 
​
During the program, guests were able to recognize June Kjome, one of Habitat La Crosse’s co-founders, who was in the audience. We are so grateful for the foundation she laid for the work Habitat is now doing and expanding for area families.

We could not have held this event, and could not be launching the All Hands In Capital Campaign, without the help of so many volunteers and donors throughout the process and beyond. Thank you to our steadfast supporters!

It was great to see so many people from the community join us in launching our campaign. Your continued support will help us reach more area families! To learn more, visit the Capital Campaign page today.
