MAHFH Annual Events
"Light More Homes” grew from the desire of Chuck Hammock, MMRHFH board member, to bring smiles to kids and adults at Christmas. Through animated Christmas lights synchronized to music, Hammock reminds people of “The Light of the World.” The display began as a small residential drive-by yard display that was broadcasted via FM radio. It moved indoors and was paired with the Live Out Loud Children’s Choir singing to the music and lights. In 2008 the event evolved into a significantly larger display enjoyed by thousands of adults and children. The display was at Chic-fil-a for a number of years but was relocated after their remodel. The event is currently held in Mercer Village, alongside Stadium Drive which has 180 candy cane wrapped trees. Each year, the display is enjoyed from Thanksgiving to New Years. The proceeds from the light show are applied to Macon Milledgeville Regional Habitat for Humanity’s Neighborhood Revitalization program. Specifically, the goal of the event is to meet the electrical needs of 5 homes. Thus, the event lights more homes.
