At Habitat for Humanity, we build.
We build because we believe that everyone, everywhere, should have a healthy, affordable place to call home.
More than building homes, we build communities, we build hope and we build the opportunity for families to help themselves.
Donations help families break the cycle of poverty and build long-term financial security.
With an affordable, stable home, families have more to spend on food, medicine, child care, education and other essentials.

Jonathan Gold’s sudden death at 57 , mere weeks after he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer,
dealt a concussive blow to Los Angeles, the international food community, his many friends and a legion of devoted readers.
But it stunned and devastated his family with whom he shared so many adventures
—his wife, Laurie Ochoa; their 23-year old daughter Isabel and 15-year old son Leon.
Jonathan loved being a food critic but he loved his family more,
and though they are a valiant trio, his death has unmoored them in many ways, including financial.
Contributions will help them cover immediate expenses and provide for Izzy and Leon’s education.

"Where ignorance grows trees"
(Now called the Eden Reforestation Projects)
US President Donald Trump doesn't believe in the science of human-caused climate change.
He wants to ignore one of the greatest threats to healthy life on Earth.
Trump wants to bring back coal despite scientists telling us we cannot afford to burn it,
and despite economists telling us there's more money and jobs in renewable energy.
So we're planting a forest to soak up the extra greenhouse gases Trump plans to put into our atmosphere.
We're planting a global forest to offset Trump's monumental stupidity.
