Fun fact: he has been personally involved in 66 out of the 153 total builds since our founding in 1987... and counting! Needless to say, we have benefitted from his immense skills and knowledge for many years! Keep reading to learn more about Matt:
What is your favorite part about working with Habitat? In other words, what is your why? The thing that keeps me feeling energized in my work is knowing that I am making a difference in the lives of the families that we build the homes for. What is one moment that stands out from your time at Habitat? One of the first homes that I built was with a single mother with high school and younger children. Through the process of the home being built, it was amazing to watch how the attitudes of the children changed, knowing that they were working on something that could change their lives. What is something you love to do when you're not at work? Spending time with family and friends. We used to do a lot of camping, but having sold our camper last year, we are looking at different adventures to take and places to see. Just for fun: if you could instantly become an expert at anything, what would it be? Cooking. I like to cook, but I would like to be able to be creative and know what to do without a recipe. For example, taking a steak and knowing exactly how to season it, what to serve as a side, and what beverages would pair with it depending on someone's taste. I don't want to be a chef, I just want to be able to cook some incredible food for my friends and family. Do you have a vehicle that you no longer use or need? Your car, truck, SUV, boat, or trailer could help Greater Green Bay Habitat for Humanity build a new home in our community! Habitat for Humanity makes it fast and easy to donate a vehicle, and by doing so, you may qualify for a tax deduction. Vehicle donations to Habitat for Humanity affiliates across the United States have raised over $72 million just in the last five years! Your vehicle will be sold on behalf of Habitat through a national network of auctions and direct buyers. Since launching Cars for Homes in 2005, Habitat for Humanity has accepted over 160,000 vehicles for reselling or recycling, raising funds for Habitat to partner with local families to build stability and security that a safe, affordable home allows. I could not believe I could donate my junk car and help Habitat for Humanity. It had been in an accident, but you still towed my car away quickly and easily! 
Let's get to know a little bit more about Christiaan:
What is your favorite part about working with Habitat? In other words, what is your why? My favorite part about working for Habitat for Humanity is the ability to get involved in the community I live in. I spent four years in La Crosse for college and after I left, I realized I completely neglected the city. But working with all the volunteers, hearing their stories, and meeting the customers and donors, I feel like I'm part of the community rather than just living in the city.
She is well into the planning for 2026's Rock the Block event, which will take place in De Pere. Stay tuned to our social media channels and our email newsletter for more information on this (coming very soon) and in the meantime, get to know a little bit more about Kaylee!
