The Loraine and Woodrow Jackson Home Dedication

The Jackson home was dedicated on March 17, 2008. The service was led by the Mennonite Disaster Service with participation of the board of directors and the executive director of the Second Hope Homes. Preceding the service was the receiving of guests (family and friends) and fellowship with the volunteers who did the work.

This project was made possible by Self Help Housing of East Texas (SHHET), a 501(C)3, Texas non-profit corporation that was established to provide housing. The funding for this entire project comes from several sources: The Moody Memorial First United Methodist Church Permanent Endowment Fund (PEF); Rita Recovery, an agency of The United Methodist Church; and Church World Service. The major labor will come from the Mennonite Disaster Service. In Short, this project was made possible by a group of faith based and non-profit organizations.
