CHS is pleased to have been selected to partner with William Mangum on his annual Honor Card campaign. William Mangum Artist was encouraged to support the mission of CHS after we helped improve the home and quality of life of his friend James Canady. Proceeds from he 2023 Holiday Honor card campaign totaled more than $138,475 that was donated to CHS! Thank you to all who purchased cards and supported the Holiday Card campaign.
Since Mr. Mangum first introduced us to Mr. Canady earlier this year, our construction team has been hard at work making critical repairs to keep his home warm, dry, and safe. In addition to replacing the deck, railing, and stairs at the back of his house, we've also replaced his roof, installed carbon monoxide monitors, repaired water leaks, and reconnected ductwork in the crawlspace. We are grateful to all our supporters who made these projects possible! You can learn a little more about this special friendship and how it inspired the campaign by visiting the Honor Card homepage: https://www.thehonorcard.com/
How Honor Cards Work
For a minimum donation of $5, you can purchase an Honor Card to send to a family member, friend, or loved one. Inside will be a note that reads, “A gift has been given in your honor to Community Housing Solutions. “Honor cards are more than the perfect gift for that hard-to-shop-for person in your life. It’s a real and tangible way to support our mission and give back to your neighbors. Throughout this campaign, 100% of the proceeds raised through the Honor Card campaign will go directly to CHS.
2024 Spring Honor Card
