Two years after being selected herself, Kendra Bilodeau is now on the other side of the table for Door County Habitat for Humanity. Bilodeau and her two children were the 40th partner family to benefit from Door County Habitat for Humanity’s home build project back in 2017. In the years since, she has continued to volunteer and was recently named to the organization’s board as its secretary. Serving as a member on the selection committee and the family coordinator as well, Bilodeau says she can be that person she did not have going through the process as somebody who has been in their shoes.
Executive Director David Van Dyke says having a former partner family member on the board brings an important perspective to their discussions.
While home build 42 continues in Sturgeon Bay, Bilodeau and Van Dyke hope more families in need of a "hand up" come to their offices to apply to become a future partner family.
