Background: Habitat’s primary emphasis is to build new, affordable housing in partnership with God’s people. However, we have a desire for all people to live in homes that provide hope and dignity. A Brush with Kindness, first launched in the Twin Cities, is now catching on across the nation. It is a partnership with local communities to help rehab homes for residents based on economic need, age, and/or disability. Jimmy Carter’s 2007 work campaign in Los Angeles included a number of ABWK projects in L.A.’s South Central neighborhoods.

Trinity Habitat’s ABWK is currently operating in Como, one of Fort Worth’s most historic African-American neighborhoods. In partnership with Como citizens and churches, as well as other congregations and businesses, we rehabbed two homes in ’06, 7 in ’07, and have a goal of 10 for ’08.

A Brush With KindnessHow you can get involved: ABWK is a wonderful opportunity for you, your business, and your church to get involved in a local mission effort with quick results. Most of the rehab projects last only two weeks. They are especially attractive for local youth groups, since the site age requirement is 14 and above. You can get involved by providing needed funds as well as sending groups and individuals to the sites.

Upcoming ABWK dates:

  • June 23-28 (one home)
  • Other dates to be determined later.

For more info: Contact ABWK coordinator, Krin Van Tatenhove, at 817-902-2198, or Samantha Miller at 817-926-9219, ext. 107.
