Today's Homeowner Hosts Danny Lipford & Chelsea Lipford Wolf
“I wanted to share the great work going on at Manna House with our audience – hopefully to empower homeowners across the country, and inspire them to pay it forward and do great things in their own communities.”
MOBILE, Ala. (PRWEB) December 21, 2017
As part of its 20th anniversary season on national television, Today’s Homeowner TV will feature a special community service episode during its holiday lineup. The episode, titled “Helping Hands,” will debut broadcast week of December 25 on the brand’s 214 partner stations throughout the U.S.
The idea of featuring a community service project on his national show isn’t a new concept to Host and Executive Producer, Danny Lipford. Past seasons have included highlighting the great work of Habitat for Humanity and other organizations. Additionally, Lipford and his crew assisted a homeowner with physical limitations make needed repairs to her Mobile, AL, residence, and shared the experience with his audience in a “Today’s Homeowner Helps Out” episode last season.
To mark the 20th anniversary season of his TV show, Lipford again wanted to showcase the good work going on around the country in the home improvement industry. He and his crew met up with the Home Builders Association (HBA) of Greater Tulsa and their Remodelers Council to create an inviting outdoor living area at Manna House, a residence which assists young women transitioning from foster care to adulthood.
Volunteers worked to renovate the home’s back patio, taking it from basic to brilliant in a single day.
“I’m always amazed at what people can accomplish when they work together, says Lipford. “I wanted to share the great work going on at Manna House with our audience – hopefully to empower homeowners across the country, and inspire them to pay it forward and do great things in their own communities.”
Nearly 20 volunteers and crew made the following improvements to the space:
- Cleaning and adding fresh paint to the patio slab
- Construction of a wood pergola to provide shade and ambiance to the patio
- Relocation of the air conditioner condenser unit to provide more usable patio space
- Installation of a bike rack for residents
- Addition of outdoor lighting
The project was funded with a grant from the HBA Charitable Foundation. Several local and national vendors such as Overstock.com, Southern Patio and SouthWire contributed finishing touches to the project including plants and planters, new outdoor furniture and a new grill.
All of the projects, how-to steps, spirit of service and the big reveal will be part of the “Helping Hands” episode next week. Viewers can visit TodaysHomeowner.com/find-a-station to find their local station and airtime.
Today’s Homeowner plans to collaborate on additional community service projects in 2018.
