Recently, I had the privilege of celebrating the completion of Pahlisch Homes' inaugural Homes for HOPE project in beautiful Bend, Oregon. I was joined by staff, neighbors from the Highline South community, and over 75 trade partners. Dan Pahlisch, President of Pahlisch Homes, opened the event with a prayer and invited guests to enjoy artisanal pizza and ice cream from local food trucks. It was a time to celebrate the thousands of lives that will be impacted by Pahlisch's donation, as well as a time of fellowship among colleagues who had just constructed an award-winning home.
