“Inspiration for Home Is the Foundation (HIT) came during a drive home from work over twenty years ago. As I drove past several homes I was reminded that many people in our small, rural community lived in poverty. I wondered how many children lived in those homes and how poverty and inadequate housing affected their lives.

Were they safe? Were they happy? What would their futures look like? A friend once told me: “To those whom much has been given, much is expected.” Life had been good to me and I now knew one way I could give back!

I created the HIT Foundation because everyone in Preble County should have a decent and safe place to live. And with the great team at the Foundation and all the wonderful support we’ve received from the community, we’ve been turning the dream of safe, affordable housing into a reality for families throughout our community ever since.

Thanks for helping us make a difference in people’s lives!”
