Upper Cumberland Habitat for Humanity Building Strength and Self-Reliance through affordable housing in the Upper Cumberland, since 1995 We need dedicated volunteers to help make these repairs.

Upper Cumberland Habitat for Humanity, a non-profit Christian housing ministry, builds affordable homes in partnership with God, families, and individuals in need. We believe that every man, woman, and child should have a safe, affordable, and energy efficient place to live in dignity and stability. UCHFH strives to assist individuals in Putnam and Overton Counties of substandard, unaffordable living situations. We invite volunteers and partners of all backgrounds to join us in this work. We also have an elderly repair program called Neighbor 2 Neighbor that focuses on individuals over 60 needing affordable home repairs. This program is for senior residents of Putnam and Overton counties who need affordable repairs done to a home that they currently own and live in. The focus is on seniors, age 60 and above and focuses on accessibility improvements, mobility modifications, weatherization enhancements, and critical home repairs that are crucial to help seniors live in their own homes longer. Upper Cumberland HFH wants to make continued homeownership for seniors a reality so they can age in place with the comfort and dignity they deserve. Your financial support, your voice and your time will help bring strength, stability, and independence to families and individuals in need of a decent place to live. Habitat homeowners help build their own home alongside donors and volunteers and pay an affordable mortgage. Help build a community and a world where everyone has a decent place to live.

Thank you to Amanda and John Brantley from Lagniappe Spice Company for their continued support of Cooking on the Square! 🦞

Amanda and John's love for Cooking on the Square started with their passion for Cajun-style food! In 1994, they moved to Tennessee and also started frequently visiting the New Orleans area. They eventually attended Cooking on the Square as patrons and fell in love with the event and mission behind it!

In 2010, John started Lagniappe Spice Co. with his signature "Booyah BBQ Shrimp," and it was only natural for them to start a booth at Cooking on the Square! That booth, along with serving four years on UC Habitat's board, solidified their commitment to this unique event.

Each year, Cooking on the Square has grown, and this year, we're excited to offer an even bigger footprint. We're excited to announce that Amanda and John now have a street named after them: Lagniappe Lane!

"We love COTS and its mission!" said John and Amanda. "We are grateful to be honored in this way, and want to recognize all the cook teams who have graciously given of their time and cooking talents to this event over the years."
