Donations are currently
being accepted for the Firestorm Disaster Rebuild
Fund at the SDHFH office located at 10222
San Diego Mission Road, San Diego 92108 or by calling
619-283-HOME or by clicking Donate Now button at
the bottom of the page and designating “Firestorm
Disaster Rebuild Fund”.
SDHFH rebuilt 21 homes
for the victims of the 2003 Wildfires and offered
discounted building materials to hundreds of families
who lost their homes in the fires from the Habitat
for Humanity ReStore. SDHFH is here to help in rebuilding
efforts once again. While immediate needs
are being addressed by local, state and federal
government organizations, as well as a number of
relief organizations, Habitat for Humanity recognizes
the call for long-term solutions to the housing
needs of families who have been affected and displaced
by natural disasters.
“Our thoughts and prayers go out to those
in our community affected by the fires,” said
Cheryl Keenan, Executive Director of San Diego Habitat
for Humanity. “Habitat for Humanity understands
that when a disaster strikes, the best people to
help, initially, are the first responders who are
trained in disaster relief. We are taking immediate
action with the launch of our Firestorm Disaster
Rebuild Fund and will follow through clean- up and
rebuilding efforts”.
The Habitat for Humanity
ReStore located at 10222 San Diego Mission Road
is offering an additional 20% discount on already
discounted building materials to families rebuilding. Please bring your FEMA card with you.
For corporate donations and build opportunities
please contact Elizabeth Neubrand at elizabethn@sdhfh.org
or 619-283-4663 ext. 317.
For volunteer opportunities please contact Carolyn Bollman at carolynb@sdhfh.org or call 619-283-HOME ext. 316.
For families displaced by the fires, Habitat for
Humanity will be holding orientations for families
who lost their home in the fire. Please check back
soon for dates and locations or contact Shayna Hensley
at shaynah@sdhfh.org
or 619-283-4663 ext. 314.
San Diego Habitat for Humanity plans to re-build homes and designate families for existing Habitat for Humanity projects for those who have suffered losses by the recent fires who meet program requirements to become Habitat partner families. The effort will serve those who were uninsured or substantially underinsured and who are having difficulty obtaining the necessary financing to rebuild.

A SPECIAL THANKS TO INCUBUS!! The California wildfires have been very much on Incubus' mind lately. It's been tragic to watch so many homes go up in flames. In San Diego and Orange County there are a number of folks who are left without options as their homes have burned down. To help address this, Incubus made a large donation this week to the Habitat for Humanity in San Diego. myspace.com/makeyourselffoundation
