The weather may be cold but our hearts are warm after dedicating five homes before the holidays!
Faith Build: Celebrating Latrese
On December 12 we dedicated our 2025 Faith Build! Built by 17 faith communities and organizations alongside many individual volunteers, our Faith Build has now been purchased by Latrese!
A special thank you to Sister Barb Vano, Ben Malczewski, John Krochmalny, Lynne Dickendasher, and Pastor Melanie Forrey for being a part of our dedication and blessing Latrese's home.
Owens Corning Build: Celebrating Shannon
On December 18 we dedicated our 2025 Owens Corning Build, which has been purchased by Shannon!
Maumee Valley Habitat's partnership with Owens Corning has been vital to our work, and we're excited to celebrate another successful year of impact! Shannon's home marks 22 full home builds with Owens Corning. In addition to donated building materials, financial support, playhouse builds, and Women Build volunteering, 200 Owens Corning volunteers worked to build Shannon's home!
Junction Builds: Celebrating Angela, Keyshyra, and Tashiana
December 19 broke the record for number of homes dedicated on the same day at Maumee Valley Habitat!
Family, friends, volunteers, partners, supporters, and staff gathered together to dedicate three home! We moved from house to house, dedicating each home and celebrating each homeowner and the work they've put into their homeownership journey.
These homes are a part of our Junction Neighborhood Builds, made possible by incredible support from numerous people and organizations.
To every homeowner who will grace this place, know that you create a different Toledo. You are rebuilding the City of Toledo. - U.S. Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur (Dec. 19 Junction Dedication)
These five homes were made possible because of the generous support of you and our community. Whether you made a financial donation, volunteered on a build site, shopped or donated to the ReStore, "liked" or shared a Facebook post, or attended an event, THANK YOU!
Because of you, five families will be home for the holidays!
Stay tuned for information on the rest of our dedications. In the new year we will be celebrating several major milestones, including 10 additional home dedications!
