Habitat for Humanity home repair in Carpinteria
Tomorrow marks Habitat for Humanity of Southern Santa Barbara County's first home repair in Carpinteria. Habitat has wanted to work in Carpinteria for some time now and we're thrilled to be able to debut the new "A Brush With Kindness" home repair program in this wonderful community. Over the next two consecutive Saturdays, Habitat volunteers we will be repairing the driveway, plastering and painting the house exterior, fixing eaves, and re-landscaping a house in need of maintenance.
Like our home building program, "A Brush with Kindness" relies on individual and groups of volunteers to help with the home repairs. For this particular project we have volunteer groups coming from Westmont College, Santa Barbara City College, UCSB, and Santa Barbara Firefighters. Venoco is confirmed as a half house sponsor of the whole project and St. Joseph's Catholic Church is providing lunch for all volunteers.
A Brush with Kindness is about restoring homes and helping people through simple acts of kindness. If you'd like to volunteer and help homeowners remain in their homes, please sign up online. This is a program that is not limited to just this one house. We will keep you informed on upcoming A Brush with Kindness projects.
