Texarkana, TX-AR— February 22, 2021 Habitat for Humanity Texarkana (HFHT)  is presented with a $25,000 Challenge grant from the Patterson-Troike Foundation. From now to March 31, 2021, gifts will be MATCHED dollar for dollar, having TWICE the impact on our Habitat families and our community. Carol Giese Board Chair states “Now more than ever, HFHT is so grateful for the community which has funded, volunteered, celebrated, and advocated for our organization through the years. At a time when everything feels uncertain, and following last week’s weather challenge leaving many households without water, heat, broken pipes, and other challenges we find comfort and encouragement knowing our community cares about our mission.”

  The mission of Habitat for Humanity Texarkana becomes more relevant every day

HFHT’s mission to provide affordable housing in the Texarkana area paused this past year; says Executive Director Mary Wormington, volunteers could not utilize volunteers, and hiring trades professionals added unexpected costs. “COVID -19 shined a spotlight on the affordable housing crisis in our nation and our community. How can a person shelter at home when he or she does not have a decent place to call home?” 

We need you now, more than ever! 

Envision a community where everyone has a decent place to live!   

The Habitat for Humanity, Texarkana Board encourages the community to give and help us meet the match. Help us build and create more taxpayers. Checks can be mailed to PO Box 1345 Texarkana, TX 75504, pledges and credit card payments can be made over the phone by calling the HFHT office at 903-832-1746.
