Two Clive Rainey Lifetime Achievement awards are presented to volunteers who have made an exceptional and sustained commitment to advancing Habitat for Humanity’s mission through generously sharing their talents. In FY2010, the Lifetime Achievement Award was renamed The Clive Rainey Lifetime Achievement Award in honor of Habitat for Humanity’s first volunteer. Clive joined Habitat in 1977 as a general volunteer in Americus, Georgia, doing whatever needed to be done. Since that time, he has been a steadfast champion for Habitat and its mission at home and abroad, including being Habitat for Humanity International’s first director in Africa and using his skills to raise awareness and resources for Habitat’ Tim Schutz bleeds Habitat for Humanity. Over a decade ago, Tim established an outreach ministry at his church, St. Maximilian Kolbe Catholic Church in Westlake Village, called “Habitat to the Max.” This effort has expanded and Tim has built a solid base of work day volunteers and an annual fundraising event which contributes to a significant portion of Habitat for Humanity of Ventura County’s budget. By the end of 2015, the Habitat to the Max ministry will have raised over one million dollars and fully funded 7 affordable, Habitat homes in Ventura County… over 12% of all new homes built by Habitat of Ventura County. Tim also volunteers weekly at build sites; coordinates volunteer carpools and shuttles people to job sites; arranges for volunteer lunches; picks up materials and hauls donations as needed; organizes “friendraisers” to cultivate new workday and fundraising volunteers; personally solicits donations for their annual fundraising auction/dinner, and designs and builds children’s playhouses whi Tim Schutz is a true champion for Habitat for Humanity of Ventura County. |
