Habitat For Humanity Tulare/Kings County

Deanna Saldana and I chatted it up about the Bird House Auction which is happening on Friday, April 3^rd. They will be “going down the rabbit hole” at the Wyndham Hotel to celebrate 15 years of fundraising with one of the most fun and unique events in the Central Valley. The event has raised more than half a million dollars to support decent and affordable housing in Tulare and Kings Counties.

Habitat for Humanity builds strength, stability and self-reliance by working with families to build or improve a place that they can call home. With the help of many, Habitat has given a hand up to more than 400 local families. Habitat supports low-income families as they build assets, reduce dependence on other forms of social assistance and break the cycle of poverty.

They are looking for creative people to build a birdhouse or doghouse for this unique event. Please contact Deanna at info@hfhtkc.org or call 559-734-4040 ext 106
