🔨 Community Partner Spotlight: Marchant’s Lumber

This year, MHCA launched a new Industrial Arts class called Kingdom Builders, where students will gain hands-on experience using tools and completing a variety of projects throughout the school year.

We are incredibly grateful to Phil Honey and Marchant’s Lumber for investing in our students by generously providing tools for each student in the class. Mr. Honey and the Marchant’s team also welcomed our Kingdom Builders students to the store, where they received their new tools and experienced firsthand the kind of hospitality that goes above and beyond.

Thank you, Mr. Honey and Marchant’s Lumber, for supporting our students and helping equip the next generation of builders—both in skill and in character.

You are a blessing to MHCA! ❤️🦅
