Now that 2013 is under way, Habitat for Humanity of Ventura County is celebrating three decades of changing lives for many members of Ventura County by providing safe, affordable housing and homeownership opportunities. Over the past 30 years, we’ve built 56 new homes and repaired over 500 homes, providing hope and a hand-up to qualified low-income families in need of safe, decent shelter.
We’ll kick off our 30th anniversary celebrations with the pouring of the foundation for two homes in Santa Paula. On February 10th, over 700 runners will join the celebration by participating in the Ventura Habitat Half Marathon & 5K. We also look forward to hosting a springtime community breakfast on May 22nd, numerous volunteer activities, and Habitat ReStore specials throughout the year. Finally, in the fall we’ll host a very special 30th Anniversary celebration.
