The Hutchinson Builders Association together with
                                                                Interfaith Housing Services is proud to announce the
                                                                first Housing With A Heart project in Reno County.


Thirty-one local contractors and area vendors are donating time, energy, expertise and materials to build a home for Penny Dodge and her two sons. Interfaith Housing Services is raising $25,000 for the project and coordinating volunteers to work with the professional contractors.

Penny's husband was killed in a construction accident when her sons were toddlers; she is raising her boys, who are now teenagers, working in Housekeeping at the Holiday Inn Express in Hutchinson. In 2006 their home was destroyed by fire and while they currently rent from Interfaith Housing, Penny continues making monthly mortgage payments on the property. This is a very deserving family and the HBA and IHS are pleased to have this opportunity to help them with their housing needs.
