Dear Habitat Family,
As we approach the beginning of a new year and look ahead to breaking new ground and building greater impact in the year to come, I can’t help but reflect on the tremendous and unprecedented year of growth and impact we have been able to achieve together in 2019.
This Saturday, a double amputee Marine Corps Veteran will be able to once again live in his Del Paso Home thanks to 4 housing nonprofits and the local community coming together to repair his home.
The brightness of the light makes me squint at first sight. Though it’s no stronger than any other light in any other house; for me, this one is different. The glow is intense and I can feel it go straight to my heart.

Habitat for Humanity of Greater Sacramento’s annual Women Build strives to make an impact in our community by creating an environment in which every woman has the power to build a stronger community. This project recruits and empowers women of all different ages, backgrounds, and industries to come together throughout the month of May to make a powerful and visible impact in our local community through housing.
This year’s Women Build is striving to raise $100,000 and bring over 500 women together, because we believe great things happen when WOMEN BUILD.
To participate in this year’s Women Build participants raise $250 to secure their registration before raising their hammers on the jobsite to build new affordable homes for low-income families in the Sacramento and Yolo County areas, as well as help on community projects to revitalize neighborhoods!
To register for Women Build, individual and team participants are welcome to utilize Habitat’s complimentary crowdfunding tools through April 25th to raise their $250 registration cost OR can pay their $250 registration cost directly and secure their spot HERE. The crowdfunding registration page will be open through April 25th, however the individual registration page will remain open until Women Build 2019 is sold out.
No construction experience is required and all tools and training will be provided! Women Build provides an opportunity for women to grab a pink hard hat and a hammer in order to promote unity, learning, and pride in our community!
Don’t miss out on your chance to join our community in rolling up our sleeves to promote positive, women-led impact! Interested individuals have the option of working on Playhouse builds, Community Projects, or New Home Builds -but only while spots are still available! Take pride knowing that you and other women can and WILL create a lasting impact on our community!

Dear Friends,
As another year comes to a close here at Habitat for Humanity of Greater Sacramento and we begin to plan for feats ahead in the coming year, I find myself reflecting on 2018 and one word keeps coming to mind over and over again – GRATITUDE.
Last Sunday, Habitat for Humanity of Greater Sacramento hosted our first ever Unity Concert to kick off Build for Unity 2019 – our interfaith initiative which brings together people of different religions, colors, and backgrounds to put to down their differences and come together to build hope, homes, and unity.
When Jenn and Jimmy Crabbé, the dynamic husband and wife team behind Sacramento’s newest Capitol eatery and catering company Statehouse, were asked about getting involved with the Hard Hats & High High Heels Gala, they not only jumped at catering this year’s event, but took their partnership a step farther by fiancially investing in Habitat as the Presenting Event Sponsor.
On August 27th, Habitat for Humanity CEO Leah Miller spoke alongside Sacramento Mayor Darrell Steinberg, Senator Jim Beall, Assemblymember David Chiu, Supervisor Phil Serna, and Habitat Homeowner Johnnie Jackson at the Capitol in support of the Prop 1 – the Veterans and Affordable Housing (For the live coverage of the press conference, click here).

On May 14th, Habitat Greater Sacramento received a very special $40,000 donation from Supervisor Patrick Kennedy. The contribution, designated to help with neighborhood revitalization efforts in District 2, marks the first donation Habitat Greater Sacramento has ever received from a local government entity.
