ABRVolunteer Spotlight - Habitat Bachelor Party

Habitat Bachelor partyWe wish to extend our heartfelt thanks to Michael Osborn and his friends for spending his bachelor party painting the interior of the Laguna Cottages senior housing.

BHBDBuilding Homes - Building Dreams   
Building Homes - Building Dreams

Building Homes - Building Dreams is a community-wide effort to raise funds necessary to build four new homes on San Pascual Street.  The campaign will provide for a property acquisition fund and will also establish a much-needed endowment fund for Habitat.  In addition, the campaign will support Habitat's environmentally-friendly "ReStore" in our community. The campaign is led by campaign co-chairs and community leaders David Spainhour and Christine Garvey and is seeking gifts from individuals, foundations and businesses over a three-year pledge period. We are pleased to report we have raised 56% of our goal! Please help support our important work.  Watch the Building Homes - Building Dreams video.
