My parents were involved with Habitat in my hometown, Ashland City, TN. I also had prior experience with United Way, so I was somewhat familiar with understanding local chapter operations. My volunteering led me to be the current acting president.\u201d \u00a0 <br \/><br \/>At Habitat for Northwest TN, they not only build for individuals, but they also build for communities. Helping individuals own their homes reaches beyond those four walls and into the community. Bringing a sense of responsibility and pride raises morale and strengthens relationships within the community. Mr. Binkley states that his most memorable days are always build days. He enjoys everyone coming together to help develop something he knows will bring a family a safe, comfortable home. \u00a0 <br \/><br \/>The future of Habitat in Northwest TN will continue to carry the tradition of giving individuals an affordable mortgage that provides shelter and a place to make memories with loved ones. Mr. Binkley stated \u201cthe cost of home ownership is significantly increasing. The need for Habitat will still be around for the next 30 years, and as long as we still have the community&#8217;s support, a Habitat home will be built somewhere in the community.\u201d \u00a0 <br \/><br \/>Many organizations aid in the development of a safer and stronger community. Habitat promotes self-driven responsibility and determination to improve not only the individual but the community as a whole.\u00a0 We will continue to see the Dyer County community improve due to the individuals that walk alongside their fellow citizens and lend a helping hand. \u00a0 <br \/><br \/>Oscar Wilde reminds us that \u201cthe smallest act of kindness is worth more than the grandest intention.\u201d When combined and centered on a common goal, small acts of kindness can make a tremendous impact. Habitat of Northwest TN unites the community to give those in need a place to call home. We are grateful for each individual that gives and does their part. \u00a0\u00a0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n<p><!-- \/wp:table --><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Drew Binkley is Habitat of Northwest TN\u2019s acting president.
