Since 2010, Hometown Missions has assisted dozens of families in the DSISD with housing. You don't have to travel far to join a mission of helping those in need. Read about some of Hometown Missions' projects and see how we serve our community with the help of local volunteers.
From demolishing to securing new homes to renovating, from replacing floors to fixing leaky roofs, we’ve done a full range of activities to ensure our neighbors live in safe, healthy housing.

home in a month
Home in a Month is Hometown Missions communitywide initiative to pre-build, and then construct on site, a new home in a month for a Dripping Springs neighbor and family in need of safe and healthy housing. The recipients of the inaugural Home in a Month was Roy and Louisa Acosta who have lived in Dripping Springs for decades, raised multiple generations, and have been contributing members of our community. Our inaugural
Home in a Month community-wide project was a huge success!
A neighbor’s request for help.
Hometown Missions was contacted by a neighbor west of town after a recent hailstorm badly damaged an old fiberglass roof. Marsha Cramer noticed that rainwater was now streaming into the porch and following support beams that allowed access for this water under the roof and would most likely cause damage to her home. Marsha has always been a self sufficient person but she also knew that this repair would be beyond her means physical and financially. Hometown Missions volunteers were happy to serve a long time Dripping Springs resident and keep her home safe and healthy.
help for an old friend.
Martha Whinery is an old friend to Hometown Missions. She was there that dark stormy night when the founding members gathered to figure out how to help Rocio and her 5 children. Martha needed some help with some yard work and asked to remove the gutters from the front of her home. The fascia underneath was rotten and needed replacing. Martha’s church family at Canyon Church came out on their Service Sunday, Sept 1st and handled the yard maintenance and Hometown Missions volunteers came out Saturday, September 14th to remove and replace the fascia. Martha sat in swing and enjoyed the company and conversation.
