Q & A with Habitat Hero Jewel Robinson

1. How long have you lived in Memphis? I've lived in Memphis 28 years.

2. How long have you volunteered with Habitat? Been a volunteer since 2007.

3. How did you get involved with Habitat? My involvement began when Northwest in Memphis partnered to build two houses the spring and fall of 2007, 648 Jennette and 935 Brandywine. I've attended the Tool Box Bash and had a blast.

4. Why do you volunteer your time with Habitat? I volunteer because the heart of the people behind Habitat is committed to implementing change in our community. I'm honored to volunteer for such a dedicated organization and work along the side of "MEM Finest."

5. Do you have a favorite Habitat moment you would like to share? Every build is memorable,but Ms. McKay giving me a new thermal t-shirt to replace the one I had worn out building her house is a highlight.
