2/19/15: Coffee, Tuna Sandwiches and Painting
I am always impressed by the commitment some of our volunteers have. Twelve volunteers joined a partner family to paint Maria’s mobile home in Jurupa Valley Thursday morning.

2/14/15: UCR Phyt Club Spread’s the Love
There was more than enough love going around during Saturday’s paint day, when the UCR Phyt Club & UCR’s Student United Way joined forces to help spruce up the Mendez’s home.

My Life as an AmeriCorps – Sarah
I started AmeriCorps at a big transition period in my life. Within the same month, I moved into a new house, got married, and left my management job to volunteer full time at Habitat for Humanity Riverside. Though this may seem like a lot to handle at one time, I absolutely loved it and the […]

1/10/15: “Roberts Way Inside Job” with Soroptomist Riverside
Soroptomist International of Riverside (SIR) has been a strong supporter of Habitat Riverside for a number of years so when they launched “HelpHers” their new initiative to do more group hands on projects in the community, it was a natural to partner up with Habitat Riverside. And since SIR’s mission is “Women helping Women”, it […]
