Three Playhouses Built March 25

Playhouse Nomination

If you know a deserving family who would benefit from a donated playhouse, nominate them today.

Our Playhouse Build Program was officially launched on March 25. Over 25 volunteers, supporters, and staff came together to complete three playhouses in six hours.

Over the next month we'll be completing five more playhouses with Cal Poly organizations.

Read more about our Playhouse Build Program on our website, and visit our blog to see photos of the completed playhouses.

You can also view one of the finished playhouses at our Build With Us event May 4.

ReStore North County Now Under Construction

We're happy to announce that construction is underway at our new Paso Robles ReStore location. We've relocated from Tin City to 844 9th Street near downtown.

Stay tuned for more information about our grand opening celebration later this summer, and thank you for your patience while we create a safe, accessible store in north county!

Now you can support our work every time you shop at Walmart.com or on the Walmart App. Donate your spare change by registering us as your preferred charity, and start making an impact today!

Thank you for rounding up and building with us!

We are proud to partner with One Cool Earth by providing supplies and volunteer support for the installation of garden beds throughout the county. These flexible beds can be easily reconfigured to fit the space, so each school or community garden gets a customized fit.

Our first installation, pictured here, was recently completed at San Benito Elementary school in Atascadero.

Thank You to Our Recent Sponsors

We are so grateful for our recent sponsors. In March Pacific Premier Bank granted Habitat for Humanity San Luis Obispo $15,000 toward the building of nine affordable homes in Paso Robles. Brooks Wise, Regional President for Pacific Premier said, “Collaborating with organizations like Habitat for Humanity is a natural fit as we help strengthen the communities we serve."
