Due to several days of rain in the Lockhart community, and \u00a0more rain forecast for Friday, October 10, 2025, Habitat for Humanity and the Orange County Neighborhood Services Division have made the difficult decision to cancel the Fixing Up the Neighborhood (F.U.N). Kick-Off Ceremony and neighborhood painting event scheduled for that day. <\/mark><\/p>\n

The home painting will be rescheduled, and a possible wrap-up celebration may be planned for a later date.<\/mark><\/p>\n
