Citrix Online volunteers at the Habitat site
We at Habitat for Humanity of Southern Santa Barbara County appreciate financial contributions of any size. All gifts help Habitat with our mission of building simple, low-cost homes in partnership with low-income families in need of decent and affordable housing. We're also thankful for the many companies that encourage employees to donate to Habitat with matching gift programs. 

Many companies offer matching gift programs to encourage employees to contribute to charitable organizations and match match tax-deductible charitable contributions made by their employees, retirees and employees’ spouses. Some provide matching funds to support employee volunteer hours.
