Lafayette, LA - Jennifer Guidry is the winner of the 2026 Love Our Schools Home Giveaway! Her name was drawn during the 5 p.m. newscast on Acadiana’s First KATC TV 3 on Thursday, October 1.
The giveaway brought the community together around a shared goal: supporting public education in Lafayette Parish. Through ticket purchases, individuals and families had the opportunity to win a beautiful new home while making a meaningful investment in local schools.
Love Our Schools extends its heartfelt thanks to everyone who purchased a ticket, shared the giveaway with friends and family, and helped spread the word. This project would not have been possible without the generosity and support of the Acadiana community.
Every ticket purchased helped support public education in Lafayette Parish. Proceeds from the Love Our Schools Home Giveaway will go directly toward supporting teachers, students and school sites throughout the Lafayette Parish School System. These funds help Love Our Schools provide resources, programs and opportunities that make a difference across our public schools.
“We are so grateful to our community for supporting the Love Our Schools Home Giveaway and investing in our public schools,” said Millicent Nugent, Executive Director of Love Our Schools. “This project is a wonderful example of what can happen when people choose to support the students, teachers and school communities that make Lafayette Parish special.”
The home, located at 301 Porch View Drive in Olde Towne at Mill Creek, was made possible through the generosity of Manuel Builders, which built and donated the home, and RJD Community Developers, which donated the lot.
Love Our Schools is proud to celebrate Jennifer Guidry as the giveaway winner and grateful to every member of the community who helped make this project a success. Together, we are continuing to build meaningful connections between our community and the public schools that serve Lafayette Parish.
