Linwood Partners With Habitat for Humanity

June 28, 2012

Jack Boender, Linwood Board President and Pat Kirby, Habitat for Humanity, come together on Linwood’s Gray House donation

As we are about to construct our new school building, slated to open for new students in the fall of 2013, we are busy preparing our site. Among the first orders of business is to create a place to park. So, we purchased a home in Catonsville and moved the four residents out of our on-campus Gray House to their new home. The site of the Gray House will become the site of our new parking lot.

After getting a bid for removing this modular home from its 1986 foundation, Jack Boender, President of Linwood’s Board of Directors, had an epiphany. He called Habitat for Humanity and offered to donate the house to them. All they had to do was come and get it. As far fetched as that sounded, they did exactly that.  Habitat sent in work crews with hard hats and heavy equipment. Over the course of about four weeks, they carefully and completely dismantled the house, piece by piece, stacking all useable materials neatly and methodically. They will reuse the materials in other projects and will stock their Re-Store store that provides building material for the repair of homes of low income families.

As is the case with all nonprofit agencies, Linwood depends on the generosity of others to advance our mission. Partnering with Habitat for Humanity in this manner has given us the rare and unique opportunity to be on the giving end rather than the receiving end. We are proud to give back to our community.

Over 250 community members and leaders attended the Columbia Foundation’s Annual Dinner at Ten Oaks Ballroom in Clarksville last evening – a night of sharing accomplishments, recognizing the many organizations that partner with the foundation, and thanking the community for their support.

The highlight of the evening came as Columbia Foundation Leadership Council Co-Chairs, Padraic Kennedy and Mike Davis, presented the Foundation’s first-ever Leadership Council Philanthropic Award, and the Willis family presented the annual “Casey and Pebble Willis Making a Difference Award.”

Casey and Pebble Willis Making a Difference Award

Linwood Center received the annual “Casey and Pebble Willis Making a Difference” award presented by Bob Willis, son of the late Dr. Eugene and Casey Willis. Mr. Willis was joined by his siblings on stage in making the presentation. Bill Moss, Executive Director and Kim Manning, Community Outreach Director of the Linwood Center, accepted the award.
