An investment by Jeanne and Duke Shold is making it possible for Habitat to build affordable housing in Port Hadlock and Chimacum through donations that support both the purchase of land and home construction. The Sholds have been supporters of Habitat for over ten years and are the first donors to sponsor both land acquisition and home construction.
Duke Shold’s family settled in Chimacum in 1915. Jeanne is a relative newcomer, arriving in the 1970s. The Sholds are firm believers in education and have long sponsored scholarships for college-bound students from Chimacum High School, Duke’s alma mater and now his grandchildren’s. Jeanne believes, “Sharing our good fortune is important to us. If you have the ability to give. Why not share it?”
