Honorary Gala Chair: Julie Lambert, H-E-B Area Community Coordinator

Julie Lambert is the Area Community Coordinator for three H-E-B stores in the Clear Lake and Friendswood communities. Julie and H-E-B have been incredible community partners to BAHFH for many years through their support of our gala fundraisers, golf tournaments, home dedications, and even as construction volunteers for our home builds! Julie’s heart for service and community continues to make a difference across the Houston Bay Area.

As BAHFH celebrates our 35th anniversary of building in the Houston Bay Area, we are honored to have Julie’s passion for service and commitment to our community help guide this year’s celebration. We can’t wait to celebrate 35 years of building homes, communities, and hope with Julie and all of you!
