HabiJax Honors Hicks Scholarship Recipients

There will be 13 new Ospreys at the University of North Florida this Fall, and on Tuesday, August 9th, 2022, seven Hicks Scholarship recipients, their families, and members from HabiJax joined together at The Cookbook Restaurant to celebrate their achievement!

Lance Hunt, the Hicks Program Manager, orchestrated the evening by welcoming the new students and encouraging them to meet the other recipients.

"You're going to be embarking on a new journey in life, and tonight, you have the opportunity to meet other students who will be in your same shoes", explained Hunt. "The sky is truly the limit for all of you, and I can not wait to see what you will achieve!"

HabiJax Offers A Brush With Kindness! 

It’s a long-standing program within the Habit for Humanity community, A Brush with Kindness (ABWK), which is an exterior home preservation program that offers painting, landscaping and minor repair services to eligible homeowners so that they can continue to live in safe, decent homes, for years to come.

This year our Volunteer Field Coordinator, Brent, reached out to a long list of current HabiJax homeowners who purchased their homes as far back as 2003. After conversing with the homeowners about potential needs, HabiJax sent teams of volunteers out to these homes to provide exterior work like landscaping, pressure washing, painting, and caulking.
