Building Stronger Communities | EP. 34

Home is more than four walls—it's a place where families can build a future. I recently had the privilege of sitting down with Kasey McCarty, Director of Development for Upper Cumberland Habitat for Humanity, to talk about the incredible impact Habitat is making across our region. First off, she is delightful to chat with but, we discussed how homeownership changes lives, the importance of community partnerships, and the many ways volunteers, donors, and local families come together to make the dream of homeownership a reality. I left this conversation with an even greater appreciation for the work Habitat for Humanity does to strengthen families and our communities. I hope you'll take a few minutes to watch our conversation. Whether you're looking for a way to serve, support a great mission, or simply learn more about the work happening here in the Upper Cumberland, I think you'll be encouraged! #podcast #theordinarybrave #habitatforhumanity#uppercumberland
