Sun City Residents: Help Us, Help You!
Our Helping Hands program provides assistance to seniors, the physically disabled, and low-income homeowners by performing small home repair and home improvement projects. The homeowner is responsible for providing the materials and the Helping Hands program will provide the labor and construction expertise. In some cases, the cost of the materials can be subsized.

At this time we are seeking two or three Sun City homes. Duel projects will be considered when projects are in close proximity to another. Projects will be scheduled for March, April and May. Examples of projects include

Yard and weed cleanup and removal, ( no tree trimming at this time.)
Light painting, fences etc..

For more information, contact, Habitat for Humanity Inland Valley at (951) 296-3362 or complete an on-line Helping Hands application found under the Helping Hands tab.

He died early today, Feb. 3, following a brief illness. He was 74. Click here to read the letter from Habitat for Humanity International.

Habitat Way Completed
In Temecula

On May 3rd, over 225 people gathered in celebration of the completion of the five Habitat Way homes located in Old town Temecula. The House Dedication ceremony featured recognition for supporters, introduction of homeowners and a special award, the Brent Eskildsen Humanitarian Award, given to three worthy recipients who essentially spearheaded the project. The sometimes emotional ceremony was highlighted by a special thank you given by the homeowners. After the ceremony, attendees were invited to tour the completed homes.
