PPHFH had to postpone the Volunteer Appreciation Event again this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We have tried to reschedule the event, but alas to no avail. As a result, the PPHFH leadership team has taken the difficult decision to officially cancel the in-person event for a second year and instead created a pre-recorded 2020 Volunteer Award Ceremony.

Volunteer Awards 2020
Thank you to all the dedicated board, committee, construction, deconstruction, and ReStore volunteers and their families, who supported PPHFH this past year.
Our 2020 Volunteer Award Ceremony was released June 4, 2021.
We look back at 2020 and celebrate all of PPHFH's volunteers for the work they did to build homes and transform lives through affordable homeownership in El Paso County and around the world.

The George Hammond Award
The George Hammond Award honors individuals who, through their tireless service to PPHFH, have exhibited qualities of leadership, an unwavering belief in Habitat’s ministry, as well as demonstrated a deep devotion and passion to serve the community and people of El Paso County, Colorado.
For more than 25 years, George Hammond has been the committed builder of homes, communities, and hope in El Paso County. This award will henceforth recognize and be bestowed upon those volunteers that, in the PPHFH George Hammond Award Board of Director ad-hoc committee’s opinion, have significantly given of themselves and provided positive mentoring, guidance, support and collaboration to future homeowners, volunteers, and affiliate staff.
A recipient of the George Hammond Award is a volunteer who truly is noteworthy for their constant contributions to the mission of PPHFH - a constant supporter, a constant advocate and, most importantly, a constant leader.
