S2, E9: Giving the Gift of Home with Operation Finally Home
NOTE: Due to dramatic changes in the building industry in 2020 & 2021, we archived season two and recorded updated episodes with current information. Please enjoy this updated episode from Season 5, recorded June 21,2021
Today, we talk with Rusty Carroll of Operation FINALLY HOME - an organization that builds mortgage-free custom homes for deserving veterans. Learn more about their mission and the way they work with home builders across the country to build homes for those who need them most where they're needed.
We were also joined by Heath & Savannah Howes, homeowners for the Operation Finally Home project built by Hibbs Homes. We spoke about surprising the Howes family with their new home during at St. Louis Cardinals baseball game - and all of the ways that the gift of HOME has changed their life. The home was built as a place of healing for Heath as he deals with combat injuries.
Below, check out photos and videos from the project announcement at Busch Stadium, the groundbreaking ceremony, and the ribbon-cutting at the Howes Family's home and learn more about this project on our company's philanthropy page.
