We've told you about Habitat for Humanity Santa Barbara's new program A Brush With Kindness a few times and are still in need of volunteers to help repair a home of a low-income homeowner in Carpinteria. A Brush With Kindness is a new program that allows Habitat to serve a greater number of people in Santa Barbara and is in line with our core values of homeownership and community revitalization. Habitat's first home repair will help Suzanna, a low-income homeowner in Carpinteria who cares for her disabled sister. After years of deferred maintenance, Suzanna's driveway is in need of complete repair. The driveway has become a hazard and hindrance to her sister who is wheelchair bound. Habitat is working with a local contractor to lay a new driveway, plaster holes in the exterior of the home, repair eaves, paint the full exterior, and landscape the yard.
We have a great group of Westmont College students confirmed to help on 2/26 but still need volunteers to sign up for Saturday, February 26th and March 5th. Please sign-up to volunteer online or contact our volunteer coordinator Lydia.
