HABITAT FRESNO TO CELEBRATE 25 YEARS OF SERVICE

On September 16, 2010, Habitat for Humanity Fresno County will celebrate its 25th anniversary at our Building Homes, Building Hope fundraising breakfast to be held at Habitat’s new ReStore location.  We have an exciting program lined up that will inspire our 400 guests who will be joining us for this event.  The purpose of this gathering is to celebrate the successes of our affiliate over the past 25 years and to inspire supporters to help continue our mission of eliminating poverty housing in Fresno County for many years to come.

Funds raised at this event will go directly into our home building fund.  Our overall goal is to generate at least $100,000 to offset construction costs of an entire home at our Clara North Village OR at least ten new homes at various stages over the next year.

Even if you cannot attend the event, we would like to invite you to show your support! Please donate today by clicking here.  Stay tuned for more information on the results of our efforts in next month’s e-newsletter.
