Families received the keys to their new homes and expressed their thanks and gratitude to Tulsa Habitat for Humanity, all of the sponsors, volunteers, Joplin Habitat for Humanity, and to Missouri Southern State University. MSSU gave their surprise announcement that all 24 children in these homes were to receive 4 year scholarships to the university. What an incredible surprise!

Families react to the announcement about the MSSU scholarships

The new homeowners shake their keys!
