The Table made a gift of $10,000 to Habitat for Humanity’s Build for Unity last fall and construction is ready to begin! We’ll take part in 5 construction days this winter as we join this multi-faith effort to build two Habitat homes next door to each other as a celebration of diversity, inclusion, & community here in Sacramento.
Our construction team for February 8 is now full. Here’s a link to learn more about joining our next Habitat build date on February 22.
We are building this two-home project alongside the Emelyanenko family of 8 and Omar family of 6, both of whom currently live in severely overcrowded two-bedroom apartments. The families have already become fast friends while working on their initial sweat equity hours, and are thrilled to be neighbors soon, living in an established and safe neighborhood where their kids will have space to grow and play in the yard together!
As with all Habitat partner families, the Emelyanenko and Omar families will each put in 500 hours of sweat equity helping to build their home alongside volunteers, and will purchase the home upon completion for a 30-year 0% interest equivalent affordable mortgage.
