Volunteer Spotlight

Last week the Habitat for Humanity ReStore celebrated awesome volunteer, Susana. Susana has volunteered over 500 hours in the ReStore since she started volunteering last year.

This week 11 students from Providence Christian School came out and volunteered at the ReStore. Their help is critical in the functioning of the ReStore on a day to day basis. A huge thank you to Susana, the students from the Providence Christian School, and the other volunteers who help make the ReStore a success.

Volunteers are the heart of Habitat for Humanity and keep our critical programs running. Below are some of the volunteer opportunities currently available with Habitat for Humanity of Southern Santa Barbara County.

Earth Day Work Day

Volunteers and staff from Habitat for Humanity of Southern Santa Barbara County joined in on the Earth Day festivities in Downtown, Santa Barbara. As one of the many booths at the annual Earth Day festival, volunteers were able to connect with community members and talk about current and upcoming projects. These projects include volunteering at the ReStore, Cars for Homes, and A Brush with Kindness.

Also happening over the weekend, Habitat for Humanity of Southern California completed another A Brush with Kindness home repair project. Volunteers came together to complete home repairs for senior homeowner, Phil.

Volunteers worked Saturday and Sunday providing exterior repairs, clearing overgrown landscaping, planting succulents, and painting the exterior of the home.

Habitat's A Brush with Kindness program works to help low-income or fixed-income homeowners to restore their homes to be a safe and decent place to live, through minor exterior repairs. The program provides materials and volunteer labor to make improvements to a house affordable and possible.

Able-bodied homeowners work alongside Habitat's volunteers as part of their "sweat equity", which is central to Habitat's home building program. Through this program, homeowners are able to regain the pride of home-ownership and maintain the value of their homes.

A Brush with Kindness complements Habitat for Humanity's construction programs that bring decent and affordable homes to low-income families. All partner families must meet Habitat's income requirements, as well as show a need for crucial exterior repairs and a willingness to partner with Habitat for Humanity.

For more information on how you can volunteer on an upcoming A Brush with Kindness project or in the ReStore, please visit www.sbhabitat.org or call 805-692-2226.

Habitat for Humanity + Volunteers= Another Completed A Brush with Kindness Project

On January 20th 2015, volunteers from Cate School partnered with Habitat for Humanity Southern Santa Barbara County to complete another A Brush with Kindness home repair project. Sponsored by Thrivent Financial, 82 students and faculty came together to complete home repairs for an elderly low-income homeowner.

 Unable to make repairs himself due to MS, the students and faculty worked during the day to provide exterior repairs to the home, clear overgrown landscaping, plant drought resistant plants, build a new walkway, and clean the full exterior of the home.
