Every hand makes a difference
Making St. Theresa Place a Reality
Thank You, Father Ted!
When the St. Theresa Place Advisory Council met for the first time, Fr. Ted Tempel shared
just how much his ministry at St. Theresa, where he served as pastor from 1979–1993, meant
to him. He was quick to say it wasn’t the buildings that mattered. “It was the people — that
sense of community — that we tried to build. We worked together and played together and
accomplished a lot together.”
Fr. Ted has always been dedicated to following Jesus’ teaching that “whatever you do to the least
of these, you do to Me.” He is known in our community as someone who helps, not just the
economically poor, but also those who are lonely, forgotten, in need of a friend — people who
need hope. When he found out that Habitat was going to build 14 houses on the property which
was formerly St. Theresa, he knew this was a way to breathe new life into the community and as
the saying goes, “cometh the hour, cometh the man.”
By reaching out to the countless individuals who knew and loved him, Fr. Ted singlehandedly raised more than a million dollars for
St. Theresa Place. The 14-house subdivision will be a reality because of Fr. Ted and the generous individuals who responded to his
invitation. Thank you, Fr. Ted!
Thank You, Rex Mundi Mighty Monarchs!
On October 13, 2020, a veritable army of Rex Mundi Monarchs — all proud alums of the
Evansville Catholic high school which operated from 1958 to 1972 — gathered at the Habitat
office (masked and socially distanced) to write to their classmates about supporting the Rex
Mundi Build in St. Theresa Place.
What a response they had! Over $106,000 has been raised thus far and the three amigos from
the class of 1969 who led the project — Dan DiLegge, Randy Mattingly and Steve Titzer —
knew that when you joined the Mighty Monarch spirit with a great cause like Habitat for
Humanity, a fire would be ignited.
The pandemic caused an all-school reunion planned for the summer of 2020 to be postponed
but when the Monarchs do eventually gather in Evansville, a tour of the Rex Mundi Build and
e St. Theresa Place is promised!

Advisory Council
The St. Theresa Place Advisory Council consists of over 30
former St. Theresa parishioners and graduates, community
leaders, and neighborhood champions. They are spearheading
the St. Theresa Place project, and seek to preserve the legacy of
St. Theresa Parish by celebrating, not so much the buildings that
were once there, but the special individuals and families who
shared life there together in beautiful, creative ways.

Welcome to the Habitat Team!
Join us in welcoming the newest member of our Habitat Evansville team, Megan
Parish! Megan’s family has always been passionate about Habitat’s mission. It
was her grandfather’s favorite charity, her uncle regularly volunteers on build
sites at an affiliate in northern Indiana, and she volunteered with Habitat
Evansville back in 2017. Megan was hired as Communications Manager early
this year and she is looking forward to serving her community through
this new role. Megan Parish
Communications Manager
Habitat Is a Top 40 Affiliate!
Each year Habitat for Humanity International salutes the top 40 affiliates across the country based
on house production. Once again Habitat Evansville — along with much larger cities like Atlanta,
Fort Worth, Miami and Charlotte — was named to this elite “Top 40” group.
Habitat Evansville, which serves Vanderburgh and Posey counties, ranked 25th with a
three-year house production average of 19.3. There are 1,178 Habitat affiliates in the United States.
You make our important work possible! Thanks for all you do to create a world where everyone has
a decent place to live.

Welcome New Board Members
Denise Greenwell, Greg Head, Mike Hinton, Andy Niemeier, Tyler Stock, and Charles Sutton
“By investing your time and resources in Habitat, you are helping a family in need and providing
them the opportunity to succeed in their life. I love that Habitat provides these hands-on
opportunities for people to use their strengths and skills to contribute to building homes and families
in our community.”
— Andy Niemeier, Co-CEO, Azzip Pizza
“Habitat for Humanity delivers on their mission in everything they do to
enrich the lives of their homeowners and our community. From application to
dedication, the staff ensures the homeowner is involved, educated, and vested
in the process to ensure the best possible outcome. [The best part is] meeting a future homeowner and
hearing about their journey to complete the requirements for homeownership. They are so grateful,
appreciative and excited about all they learn during the training session to support their journey.”
— Denise Greenwell, Product Director
Commercialization; Consumer Packaging – North America, Berry Global
“I think that Habitat of Evansville is a great organization that helps individuals and families
reach homeownership and further builds up our community with hope and revitalization. I
would encourage anyone who has a heart for helping to considering joining this organization as a
volunteer and/or contributor. If you feel inclined to get your hands dirty, then join the Core Crew;
you can choose to work one to three days per week, as you are able, and will be rewarded with the
opportunity to learn new things, work with some good people and directly touch the lives of new
homeowners.”
— Greg Head, Retired, Vice President, WB Koester Construction
“The effective execution of Habitat for Humanity Evansville’s mission in bringing people together to
build homes and build community is what motivated me to get involved. Learning that every dollar
donated goes into the mission of building homes, experiencing the outcomes through home dedications
and a family’s unique story, on top of the community building process, is inspiring and infectious. I
don’t remember where I first heard or experienced the phrase and action of, “many hands make light
work” but those words acknowledge the work of Habitat for Humanity and its building partners during
their 37-year history in Evansville. I am humbled to be a board member and lend a hand.”
— Charles Sutton, Social Impact Research Manager, Evansville Vanderburgh Public Library
"I am looking forward to working with such an engaged and focused staff and board. Beth
Folz, the executive director, along with the entire staff and board, are passionately committed
to fulfilling the mission of “Seeking to put God’s love into action, Habitat for Humanity brings
people together to build homes, communities, and hope.” This commitment to the mission
and the family-centric focus they have is inspiring. I certainly look forward to the value I can
bring to the board and being a part of the impact Habitat continues to bring to Evansville
communities!
— Tyler Stock, Talent 2025 Project Manager, Junior Achievement of Southwestern Indiana
Our sixth new board member, Mike Hinton, Chairman and CEO, Lochmueller Group,
will be featured in our next newsletter.

Holistic Neighborhood Revitalization Effort in Tepe Park,
Centered Around Bedford Collab
An $85,000 grant from Republic Services, matched by CenterPoint Energy, will fund the restoration and repair of the former Bedford
Tavern in the Tepe Park Neighborhood. The grant was secured through a national partnership with Habitat for Humanity and Republic
Services, designed to encourage entrepreneurship and strengthen small businesses weakened by the pandemic. The refurbished building will
be called the Bedford Collab and will house a space for business incubation and a community kitchen for budding chefs and caterers.
Bedford Collab will serve as a centerpiece of larger revitalization initiatives in the Tepe Park Neighborhood. Several HOUSE organizations
(Housing Organizations United Serving Evansville) — including HOPE of Evansville, Memorial Community Development Corporation
and Habitat —will be building or restoring homes around the Bedford Collab. Another
HOUSE member, Community One, will continue repairs and rehabs as well as
facilitating Tepe Park’s quality of life plan and providing other supportive services in
the neighborhood.
Todd Chamberlain, division sales manager with Republic Services, says, “Republic
Services and Habitat for Humanity are proud of their partnership in support of building
positive, community-developed housing that fosters economic development and stability
for families across the nation and in our local communities. This partnership is founded
on the joint mission to revitalize neighborhoods and increase the opportunity for
individual homeownership sought by so many.”

AmeriCorps Team
AmeriCorps is a national civil service program whose members give their time working for nonprofit organizations, tackling the challenges
and addressing the needs of communities across the country. Five young leaders — Alexis, Charlie, Helen, Ocean, and Eli — were assigned
to work with Habitat for a temporary period. Their days were spent on a variety of tasks: working on our construction sites, helping out
in the ReStore, and building barns in our warehouse, each contributing approximately 40 hours of work per week. After hours, the group
completed other program requirements.

Habitat Remembers
Those We've Lost
Monica Stinchfield
Sadly, one of Habitat’s most capable and dedicated volunteers, Monica Stinchfield, died of COVID
complications on December 1, 2020. Monica served as a member of Habitat’s Board of Directors and chair
of the Family Selection Committee for 17 years. She was President of the Board from 2014–2016.
During that time, she contributed mightily to many major efforts undertaken by the organization,
including the New Haven Subdivision, which housed victims of the 2005 tornado; the Glenwood
Community Development Initiative, where her efforts resulted in a $285,000 grant through the Federal
Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis’ Affordable Housing Program to complete Shadewood Place; and finally,
leading Habitat’s training and compliance efforts to meet standards of the 2010 Mortgage Reform Act.
Hardworking, passionate, motivated, loyal — all the qualities one would want to see in an employee were
Monica’s. She spent her entire professional career at First Federal Savings Bank where, after 41 years of
service, she retired as senior vice president. She was recognized with countless awards along the way, First Federal’s Volunteer of the
Year (2011); Women’s Council of Realtors “Member of the Year” (2002, 2006); USI’s Phenomenal Women Award (2013) and Habitat’s
Dee McMillin Volunteer of the Year Award (2009).
Rest in peace, Monica, and may your good works follow you. Prayers and sympathy go out to Darrell, her sister Tez, niece MeLissa
and all her extended family.
Catherine Walter Groben
Habitat for Humanity of Evansville recently received its largest estate gift ever, a gift of $348,000, from
long-time supporter Catherine Walter Groben. Catherine had previously sponsored three Habitat homes
in Evansville, with the last two — the Faith Build and the Hope Build — built entirely by Knights of
Columbus volunteers. Catherine’s gift will be used to help four more families transform their lives through
homeownership.
Catherine was born in Evansville in 1924 and graduated from Central High School. She and her husband,
Sy, moved to San Diego, California, in 1958 where she was employed as a typist by the State of California.
She retired in 1988 and returned to Evansville in 2008. At the time of her death, Christmas Eve, 2019, she
lived in Westerville, Ohio.
Catherine always said she was put on this earth to do good, and Habitat for Humanity of Evansville is so
grateful that she enabled seven families to build a strong, stable and self-reliant future as part of her life’s purpose. She became the 73rd
member of the Perigo-Prickett Society, Habitat’s planned giving and endowment society.
In Memoriam
Habitat mourns the loss of many members of the Habitat family during the past year and
asks for prayers for peace and consolation for their loved ones.

Uncle Sam Wants You To Give $300 (or more!) to Habitat!
That’s right! If you, like the majority of taxpayers
who are claiming the standard deduction, give
$300 to Habitat (or any other qualifying charity),
you can deduct that $300 ABOVE-THE-LINE
when you file your 2021 taxes! That means you
can subtract $300 ($600 if both you and your
spouse give and you file jointly) from your gross
income in order to calculate your adjusted gross income!
Likewise, because of pandemic circumstances and the need
to get money to non-profits who are facing extraordinary
challenges, taxpayers who itemize deductions can continue to
take advantage of the temporary suspension of the 60 percent
charitable contribution deduction limitation.
As always, contact your trusted tax, legal or financial advisor
for the latest information on how recent legislation is affecting
charitable giving and learn how to make the most tax-
advantageous gift possible to Habitat.
Homeowner Spotlight Habitat future homeowner Cassandra
and her daughter Jhe’Nyla.
“I’m excited because this will be the first time I’ve owned
my own house, and my daughter will be able to go out
and play in her own backyard. After I complete the
homeownership program, I want to continue to help build
Habitat homes and volunteer at the ReStore. I want to
help others build their homes from the ground up.”
– Habitat Future Homeowner Cassandra R.
