The Home Builders Association of Greater Fox Valley is the first Builder’s Association to become an official Chapter of Operation Finally Home.  With a simple mission:  Building Homes For America’s War Wounded.

John Hall Homes, will be donating the first home on a property in St. Charles, and A new committee has been formed at HBAGFV with Allen Drewes and Jennifer Streder Co-Chairing, with the mission to find a foreclosed home, or lot that can be donated to build or remodel another home.

BABASUPPORT.ORG started in Texas and built 8 homes.  We are the 9th, and hopefully 10th, 11th…  We were instrumental in them being able to proudly go national with there charity at this years IBS.  HBAGFV was mentioned over three times during the opening ceremonies, and we have helped gain 12 more nationwide chapters, and a $100,000 donation!

Please visit their website, at the link at the bottom.

If you know of a property or home that could be a perfect fit for our Remodelers or Builders, let us know.  If you want to help out in any way, we are there to help facilitate it.  Unfortunately we will have a continual supply of deserving disabled Iraqi, and Afganistan War Veterans and their families that will need this help.  These homes are donated fully furnished, decorated, and 100% free of cost to the Veteran and their family.  BABASUPPORT Carefully works with the Department of Veteran Affairs and with Admiral Mullen (Chairman of the Joint Chief of Staffs) and the Pentagon to pick families that will be active members of the communities that they join.  Disabilities will run the gamut, and each family will have it’s own specific needs to fill.  The goal is for this to be a sustainable and continual effort and charity for HBAGFV to support.

We are working on a huge fundraiser with Kimo Williams of the LT. DAN BAND for this May.  We will need assistance and volunteers to help run this event.

The Fox Valley Association of Realtors is the first group to donate to this home, and we are excited to partner with them.  They donated $2,500 which will be used for the family.  All money raised will be used for homes in our chapter and area.

We will have a lot more information to follow, this is truly just the beginning of something great.

Check out the great people we will get to help!
