building homes and hope together: the faces of Truman Habitat

meet president and CEO, Christina Leakey

"At Truman Habitat, it's not what we do, but how we do it that achieves the vision. We know that real transformation happens when everyone is welcomed to contribute in lending a helping hand to a neighbor in need. Our team is in the business of building community and hope; building houses is just the way we do it."
