Our crew leader celebrates 25 years of service 🎉🔨 |
A quarter century ago, Bill Droste signed up to volunteer at a church-sponsored Habitat build site. That experience expanded into 25 years of dedicated service as a crew leader with Habitat Orlando & Osceola.
That’s over 1,000 days - 6,000 hours - on the construction site, and he says that’s a conservative estimate. “Habitat became a habit,” he joked.

This week we want to shout out Total Solutions Group for helping us find housing solutions. By providing discounted plans and volunteering their time, the Total Solutions Group team supports Habitat Orlando & Osceola’s mission of creating affordable housing for those in need. As a company focused on thoughtful design and structural solutions, TSG believes that well-built, accessible housing is the foundation for stronger communities.
"Partnering with Habitat Orlando & Osceola is more than just giving back—it’s an opportunity to be part of a movement that transforms communities," TSG told us.
We couldn't do the work we do with out the support of committed partners like TSG!

Thank you so much to the teams from the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District, Velux, Hilton Grand Vacations, &Barr, Austin Commercial, and Universal Orlando Resort for donating their time, talent and treasure to our mission last month!
Your commitment helps us further pioneer innovative housing solutions, empower individuals through knowledge, and transform communities by addressing the root causes of the housing crisis.
