2024 John Homstad Volunteers of the Year: Steve & Kaye Cook

2024 John Homstad Volunteers of the Year: Steve & Kaye Cook

On September 5 we recognized the first recipients of the John Homstad Volunteer of the Year award – Steve and Kaye Cook! Steve’s parents helped found the Greater Sioux Falls Habitat affiliate, and Steve and Kaye have been volunteering with us ever since. From building homes to deconstructing them, they’ve done it all (in matching t-shirts). We appreciate their kindness, selflessness and dedication to get the job done! Thank you, Steve and Kaye, for your many years of service to our mission.

This award was created in memory of John Homstad, a longtime volunteer Master’s Builder who passed away from cancer last year. It will be awarded yearly to individuals, groups and organizations that go above and beyond, advocate for Habitat and demonstrate leadership as John did during his time with us. We are honored to give this award on his behalf.
