How the ReStore Works, A Movie

A Brush with Kindness home repair in Goleta

On Saturday, June 10th a group of  Habitat for Humanity of Southern Santa Barbara County volunteers helped repair the mobile home of a single mother in Goleta. 

The project was part of Habitat's "A Brush with Kindness" program which provides exterior home repairs for low-income homeowners unable to make necessary repairs to their homes. 

Over the course of the day volunteers helped replace windows, completed carpentry projects, and helped re-landscape around the house. As a way to say "thank you," the homeowner cooked lunch for all the volunteers. 

It was a wonderful day of neighbors helping neighbors. Thank you to all who joined Habitat at this home repair in Goleta!

If you or someone you know needs A Brush with Kindness, please fill out the Preliminary Checklist and return it to mail@sbhabitat.org or Habitat for Humanity, PO Box 176, Goleta, CA 93117

Starbucks Volunteers offer A Brush with Kindness

This month Habitat for Humanity of SSBC will complete our second A Brush with Kindness home repair. Over the course of three work days volunteers will help with the exterior repairs for a low-income homeowner in Goleta. Starbucks has graciously offered to sponsor this home repair and will sent a crew of 15 volunteers out to the site today today. On Saturday, April 23rd Goleta Valley Beautiful will be on site to help plant trees at the home.   

A Brush with Kindness (ABWK) is a program that assists low-income families in repairing their homes so they can continue to live in a safe, decent home. ABWK complements our home building program and allows our affiliate to provide safe and decent housing to a greater number of people in Santa Barbara.

We still need volunteers on Saturday, April 23rd from noon to 4pm to help plant trees and repair fences. If you are available please sign up online or call our office at 805-692-2226.
