Laura Christenbury is currently serving as the Home Services Director for Clinch River Habitat for Humanity now serving Anderson and Roane Counties.

Laura was born and raised in Oak Ridge. She graduated from Oak Ridge High School, attended Centre College, and did her graduate studies at the College of Charleston.

She is a retired school teacher with 30 years experience. Laura realized that her career in community service was not over yet. She felt that her path was continuing by serving others as the Home Services Director with Clinch River Habitat for Humanity.

In her free time, she enjoys visiting her three children and her sassy granddaughter.

Grants and funding

Cindy Ross is serving Clinch River Habitat for Humanity as the grant writer and program developer. She comes to us with over 30 year experience in Nonprofit Administration, grant development and program oversight.

Originally a Navy brat, Cindy spent much of her childhood in Puerto Rico. Her adult life has been here in East Tennessee with her husband Kevin. They have two adult sons – Jon and Ben and two dogs, Vito and Roxy. Cindy divides her time between Clinton and Oakdale.

Cindy loves to visit the beach and travel. She has 6 states left to visit before she can claim to have visited all 50 – Her thoughts about housing are summed up by this quote from Lin Yutang: “No one realizes how beautiful it is to travel until he comes home and rests his head on his old, familiar pillow.”

She is excited to be here at Habitat and hopes to impact the organization and its beneficiaries by providing additional funding for new construction and home repairs!
