A temporary home for the holidays

Their Thanksgiving dinner is on Habitat For Humanity Philadelphia.

Leroy and Elsie Freeman are the first couple ever to use the Habitat For Humanity Philadelphia Guesthouse and are staying there for three weeks while repairs on the home are done, so they will miss their usual Thanksgiving in their home. So Habitat is delivering them everything they will need – food, fixin’s, tablecloths and table décor - to fix their own Thanksgiving meal. Tuesday, November 24, 2020

Leroy and Elsie Freeman sit on the steps of Habitat for Humanity Philadelphia’s brand-new guesthouse, which was conceived by Habitat as a safe place for families to stay, in this time of the coronavirus, while their homes are undergoing critical, large-scale repairs. The Freemans, the first couple ever to use the guesthouse, were confined there through the Thanksgiving holidays, so Habitat delivered everything they needed to create a festive meal away from home: food, fixin’s, and table decor.
