The family is presented to their keys to their new home and we celebrate their achievement. In June, we hosted out first ever virtual home dedication to celebrate Patrick, Stacy and their children achieving homeownership. Watch here.

Paint Recycling Program
In 2008, we received a grant to help start a latex paint bulking or "paint recycling" program. Since then we have bulked over 1,000 batches of paint, saving 122,000+ partial gallons of paint (donated by the community) from the landfill in Lexington. That equates to over 300 tons of material... the weight of three Boeing 757 airplanes! The paint is then sold at the ReStore to support the mission of LHFH. Watch here to learn more.
