Jonesboro Habitat
Our Vision

“A world where everyone has a decent place to live.”

Our Mission

“Seeking to put God’s love into action, Habitat for Humanity brings people together to build homes, communities and hope.”

Our History

Our parent organization, Habitat For Humanity, was founded in 1976 as a Christ centered, non-profit ministry work to help end the vicious cycle of poverty in our cities and towns.

Habitat For Humanity of Greater Jonesboro (HFHOGJ) is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization founded on June 24, 1992.

Since then, we have worked to complete a minimum of one home a year. So far we have built 16 homes and are currently building on home 17 and 18.

Giving “A Hand Up” not “A Hand Out”

Our homeowners do in fact buy their homes, but HFHOGJ offers the homes we build for a zero percent interest rate, making these homes affordable to persons and/or families who have lower than normal incomes.

These homeowners then make monthly payments to HFHOGJ instead of making payments to a bank.

"The 'Fearlessly Brilliant' public art initiative will welcome two more murals later this month. Beau Jones and Tolik Rayevskiy will each create their own piece of artwork in the 200 block of Main and Union Street. Jones will be located at 212 Union, and Rayevskiy's will be located at 211 S. Main Street.

A part of our mission is to increase pedestrian traffic to our downtown district, and enhance the experience of our wonderful community. Over time, more and more communities have adopted public art initiatives to enhance their streetscapes, gain value through community art via cultural, social, and economic values, and inspire creativity. Fearlessly Brilliant encompasses a wide range of artwork for downtown Jonesboro, with emphasis on highly traveled routes and public spaces. Our initiative promotes community art, and provides an intersection between the past, present, and future, between disciplines, and between ideas."

I am a Christian, Wife, and Mom. I have been married for ten years and I have five little boys. Anyone that knows me knows they are my world. I started playing around with photography when my oldest was little. I was asked a few years ago by one of my hair clients to take her daughters senior photos. I agreed, and it was one of the best decisions of my life. My photography has really taken off thanks to my wonderful clients, and it is something that I really love doing. One of my favorite quotes is "What God gave you is his gift to you, what you make of it is your gift to God." Photography is a talent God has blessed me with, and I hope to get the chance to share it with you.
