As the holiday season approaches, the spirit of giving is in the air, and Habitat for Humanity of North Louisiana is offering the perfect opportunity to give back to our Ruston community.
Home for the Holidays – A Taste of Ruston will take place on Thursday, December 5th, from 6 to 8 p.m. at the historic T.L. James Big House. This enchanting event invites guests to savor tastes from over a dozen local restaurants while supporting the construction of Ruston’s new Habitat for Humanity neighborhood, located at Jones and Union Avenue. Progress is already visible, with the first two homes in the neighborhood nearing completion.
Last year’s event was a resounding success, and Habitat for Humanity is excited to bring it back for another memorable evening. Nancy Hunt, Board Member and spokesperson for the event, emphasized the event’s significance. “Not only are we excited about hosting this fun and unique event, but we are thrilled to bring awareness to what Habitat for Humanity is doing in our Ruston community,” she shared.
This year’s event is made possible thanks to generous sponsors, including Argent Financial, Century Next Bank, Hunt Forest Products, and Parish Site Services.
A Night of Excitement and Giving
A highlight of the evening will be a live auction at 7 p.m., offering incredible experiences and items such as:
- A luxurious 4-night escape to Chileno Bay, Cabo San Lucas
- A New Orleans Saints Game Day Experience
- A legendary weekend at the Kentucky Derby 2025
- An elegant dinner party at The Big House, catered by Chef Eric Johnson
- A Texas Rangers Suite Experience
- A Girls’ Night Out Exclusive Shopping Experience
Proceeds from the event and auction will directly benefit Habitat for Humanity’s mission to build homes for families in need within the Ruston and Lincoln Parish communities. Donations are also welcome throughout the evening to support the new neighborhood project.
Habitat for Humanity’s work depends on the generosity of donors and volunteers who share their vision of building homes, communities, and hope. Their mission is summarized beautifully: “Seeking to put God’s love into action, Habitat for Humanity brings people together to build homes, communities, and hope.”
