Tonight is the night that the world will meet Nathan and Jenny Montgomery of Philo, IL! This is an amazing family that unselfishly give of themselves day in and day out for our community here in Champaign County. Tune in tonight to witness the unveiling of their new home!!! ABC at 7PM CST.
Meet Nathan Montgomery who gave up a lucrative engineering career to start a charity that feeds hundreds of hungry families in his community. In just seven days, team leader Ty Pennington, his designers and hundreds of volunteers will rebuild the crumbling home of Nathan, his wife Jenny and their four children – providing them with comfort and security they now cannot afford for themselves.
Nathan was a promising young engineer on his way to a six-figure management position when he first began volunteering to help the needy. Realizing he wanted to pursue charity work full time, Nathan stepped off the fast track to launch Salt and Light, the philanthropic organization he leads as executive director.
Nathan has seen the number of local families in need rise dramatically during the current economic crisis, and Salt and Light now feeds an average of 250 families each week.
Nathan, Jenny and the kids – sons Ashton, 13, and Benjamin, 9, and daughters Addison, 5 and Lillian, 4 – will go on vacation to Walt Disney World while “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” transforms their home. Led by Ty Pennington, the team includes designers Michael Moloney, John Littlefield, Didiayer Snyder, local builder Brady Homes and community volunteers.
