Giving Thanks

This truly is a special Thanksgiving for Habitat for Humanity of Southern Santa Barbara County. We have so much to be thankful for this year.  We are just a few weeks away from finishing construction on our second major home building project - the four family homes on San Pascual Street. We're thankful for a project that will be completed on-time, and under-budget. That's no easy feat! And we're thankful for our generous donors, volunteers and corporate partners who help make it possible! Without their help we would not be able to complete our mission of eliminating substandard housing in Santa Barbara. 

And just because photos are fun, here's a visual of some other things we're thankful for this season:
The members of all faith communities who have joined together to support Habitat!
Our ReStore volunteers who keep the shelves stocked and the store tidy!
Our construction volunteers who have put in thousands of hours at the build site!




And lastly, we are thankful for our Partner Families and their children! We believe that homeownership is a vital step to help families break the cycle of poverty and contributes to pride in families and communities. It is our joy to build simple, low-cost homes in partnership with these families.


What are you thankful for?
