I recently traveled to Atlanta to participate in Habitat for Humanity’s 3rd annual #HomeIsTheKey campaign and home dedication. You may recall that Habitat for Humanity came to Nashville last year and that was my first year participating in this particular campaign…to say that I was thrilled to participate for my second year was an understatement.

Last year I shared how impressed I was with all of the work that Habitat for Humanity and their amazing partners are doing and I was even more impressed this year. Through their #HomeIsTheKey campaign, they work diligently to ensure that affordable housing is available to so many.

It was absolutely AMAZING to see Krushetta and her family receive the keys to their new home! This is an opportunity for Krushetta and her family to start a brand new chapter and after spending a good bit of time with her, I can tell you that they are thrilled for this next step in their lives.

I truly believe that its important to give back to your community in some way or another and Habitat for Humanity makes home ownership possible! It’s the American dream to own your own home and they make this possible through their #HomeIsTheKey initiative.

Here’s how you can get involved and help!

Habitat for Humanity has partnered with several amazing brands that I love and work with like Chico’s, White House Black Market, & Soma Intimates and from now through the end of May, for every $25+ gift card that you purchase from one of these partners, Habitat for Humanity will receive a $5 donation. How amazing is that?!

Now is the time to stock up on gift cards…maybe you know someone who has a birthday or graduation coming up…a gift card would make an excellent gift and you will be giving back to such an amazing cause in the meantime.

I hope you will consider making a donation to support Habitat for Humanity’s efforts and give others the opportunity to be a homeowner as well. Habitat for Humanity is in ALL of our community’s so you can feel confident in the fact that you are supporting your local community.

I’d like to extend a special thank you to Habitat for Humanity and Chico’s FAS brands for affording me the opportunity to participate and be involved for a second year. It was such an incredible experience. Thank you to White House Black Market for providing me with my outfits while on site with Habitat for Humanity.

As always, thanks so much for stopping by. See you back here real soon.
