Habitat Santa Barbara Tithe: Changing Lives Near and Far

At Habitat for Humanity of Southern Santa Barbara County we talk often about the impact of each and every donation. Every donation helps Habitat for Humanity provide tangible, life-changing results. By providing safe, decent, affordable homes, Habitat opens a door for low-income families and helps end the cycle of poverty. 

The impact of every donation is more far reaching in its impact that you might think. Through Habitat for Humanity International’s tithing program, every year our local affiliate in Santa Barbara supports families in Mexico and Haiti - two locations greatly in need of decent and safe shelter. 

We're proud to say that since 2000 Habitat for Humanity of Southern Santa Barbara County has served over 26 international families!

Your donations make an impact in our own community and around the world! Thank you for allowing Habitat for Humanity to change the lives of many.

Changing Lives Near and Far

At Southern Santa Barbara Habitat we talk often about the impact of each donation. Every dollar helps break the cycle of poverty for a family in our community. With the stability of a permanent home, families can devote increased attention to jobs, education and health. As the crushing cycle of poverty is broken, their children benefit, neighborhoods are revitalized and entire communities improve. However, the impact of every donation is even more far reaching than you might think.

As we near completion of the four homes being built in Santa Barbara, we are reminded of the lives we are also transforming abroad. Through Habitat for Humanity International’s Tithe Program, we are changing lives in Mexico. Our contributions in 2010 have helped transform the lives of 4,232 Mexican families!

It doesn't end there. Because we are committed to fighting the crippling effects of poverty, Habitat of Southern Santa Barbara County has donated over $5,000 towards the relief efforts in Haiti. We invite you to lend support and donate today. Please indicate "Haiti" as the Special Designation, and your gift will be sent to Habitat for Humanity International to support permanent recovery efforts.

Each year we tithe to help build additional homes in communities in Mexico and Haiti, where the critical need for simple, stable housing is imperative. Learn more about Habitat for Humanity's work in Mexico and Haiti.
