In addition to the heartwarming moments the show always delivers, this one promises some extra excitement due to the fact that the builder and volunteers weathered three natural disasters the week of the build, including an earthquake, a hurricane, and tornadoes. The outpouring of community support was undeterred by difficult weather conditions and tough economic times, with involvement from over 350 sponsors and thousands of volunteers. Generous donations from donors throughout the community enabled Schell Brothers to establish an endowment fund to help the family manage the cost of maintaining the home many years into the future. The Dunning family is grateful to the community and excited to continue the mission of feeding the hungry through their soup kitchen ministry. Ken Dunning summed it up very simply by saying: "Extreme Makeover really blessed us and we want to continue blessing others."
