THE WOODLANDS, TX. (July 20, 2009) - Market Street Activities Coordinator Jenny Taylor presented a donation of $2,612 to the Habitat for Humanity of Montgomery County. The donation represents a portion of the coins deposited by shoppers into Market Street’s curbside Change for Charity parking meters during the second quarter of 2009.  
Since the inception of the Change for Charity program, Market Street has donated nearly $40,000 to Montgomery County-based non-profit organizations.
Founded in 1989, Habitat for Humanity of Montgomery County is a non-profit, housing organization, which works in partnership with families in need to build simple, decent, affordable homes. Habitat Partner Families work side-by-side with other volunteers to construct the homes and once a Family Partner completes 350 hours of "sweat equity", Habitat for Humanity of Montgomery County finances their finished home through a twenty-year, interest-free mortgage that the family re-pays.
            “This is a wonderful opportunity to continue our community involvement and to spread the word about the Habitat for Humanity's good work,” says Market Street Activities Coordinator Jenny Taylor.

Located across the street from The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion, Market Street is bound by Lake Woodlands Drive, Lake Robbins Drive, Grogan’s Mill Road and Six Pines Drive.  Market Street is owned by a joint venture between an affiliate of Trademark Property Company and Institutional Mall Investors.
