Habitat for Humanity in Sacramento

Having the chance to volunteer and serve here locally in Sacramento California is so great!! I was thrilled when asked by a friend to attend a day with Habitat. I was off from work with no plans and jumped on the opportunity to serve!!! It is really just that easy to get out into your community and make a difference!!!


Little background information about Habitat- 
Sacramento's mission statement  Building affordable homes in partnership with families in need, supported by a host of volunteers, faith based organizations, donors and corporations for the betterment of our community.


Families receiving homes either a new constructed homes or remodeled homes are required 500 volunteer hours before calling it their home. 




Here are some pictures from my volunteering with Habitat-- enjoy :)
