We’re thrilled to announce the 2025 recipient of the John Homstad Volunteer of the Year award – Sheila Hoff! Sheila is a local realtor who joined our Board of Directors in 2017, taking on the role of board president in 2022 until she termed off the board in 2023. In addition to her board service, she was a member of the Family Selection Committee and helped review and select households for the Homeownership program.

She is a tremendous asset to our organization. Thank you, Sheila, for your leadership, generosity and commitment to further Habitat’s mission!

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.
