Dear Friends,

There is something special about summer!  With the kids out of school, vacations around the corner and our sunny Southern California days, summer is just, plain and simple:  a feel good kind of season!    
 
This year, celebrate summer with Habitat for Humanity.  Participate in one of our many events like the Pechanga Microbrewery Festival or help at one of our NSP job sites!  Supporting a non-profit comes in many forms:  donating, fundraising, volunteering, attending or advocating - it all helps in one way or another, so get involved. The families in our area will benefit from your kindness and you will go away feeling good too and after all, that is what summer is all about!

Blessings,

Tammy Marine
Executive Director
