Home. It's where the heart is.
A trite saying...unless you've ever not had a home and then, well, it's the gospel truth.
For many, a home of their own remains an unattainable dream.
But Habitat for Humanity is working to fix that.
Today - the Doing Good gang rolls up their sleeves and learns more about the organization started by a couple in rural Georgia in the mid-1970's.
Now, that idea has spread across the country and even around the world.
We'll learn more about Habitat for Humanity at work specifically in Central Appalachia where people are breaking the cycle of poverty and partnering with volunteers to build their own homes.
Since 1985, Holston Habitat for Humanity has built homes for more than 300 families in Northeast Tennessee and Southwest Virginia.
You'll hear how the work has kept going despite the pandemic.
And along the way - we think you'll be inspired to look for creative new ways to help people where you live know what it truly means to say welcome... home.
