Hoyt, a Kansas University graduate, has worked previously with Samaritan's Purse, an international nonprofit agency, and Jewish Vocational Service, which provides refugee-resettlement services in Kansas City, Mo.

I don't know that you would call Habitat a “charity”. The houses are not given away, and house payments made are used to buy materials to buy materials to build more houses.

This is one of the few local charities that I give both time and money to - completely circumventing the United Way bogus middleman. I can also see the good this organization provides the community. By all means, a development officer should help Lawrence H for H now and in the future.
