Habitat for Humanity of North Louisiana was honored by receiving $20,000 from the Hunt, Guillot and Associates Charitable Foundation headquartered in Ruston.
HGA is a real champion of what Habitat for Humanity does in our community and this donation was made to further the funding of Ruston’s newest Habitat for Humanity neighborhood.
“HGA-thru the HGA Charitable Foundation is proud to support Habitat for Humanity of North Louisiana and the great work they are doing in the Ruston community,” said Trotter Hunt of HGA and spokesman for the HGA Charitable Foundation. “The new neighborhood will be an amazing feature and a blessing to the families who will live there for years to come.”
Driven by the vision that everyone needs a decent place to live, Habitat for Humanity began in 1976 as a grassroots effort on a community farm in Southern Georgia. The Christian housing organization has since grown to become a leading global nonprofit working in local communities across all 50 states in the U.S., and in more than 70 countries.
“We are very fortunate and extremely thankful to have received this gracious gift from the HGA Charitable Foundation,” said Kathy Gardner, President/CEO. “I cannot thank, Trot Hunt, Jay Guillot and Trotter Hunt and the HGA Charitable Foundation enough for this donation to us that will be used to build a home for a beautiful family and in turn will help to improve the Ruston community as a whole.
“Since I first met Trotter Hunt and his wife Nancy, the Hunt family and HGA has become a valuable resource, partner and friend of Habitat for Humanity of North Louisiana. Because of this donation we will be able to continue our amazing work that we are doing here in Ruston with our new neighborhood. What an impact this will make for a family in need, and not just for them, but also for the generations that follow.”
