WILMINGTON FAMILY TO RECEIVE MUCH-NEEDED HOME REPAIRS THANKS TO HABITAT FOR HUMANITY’S “A BRUSH WITH KINDNESS” PROGRAM & LOCAL VOLUNTEERS

Los Angeles, CA – (May 11, 2007) - Habitat for Humanity of Greater Los Angeles (www.habitatla.org) recently announced a three year commitment to Los Angeles called the “Building A Greater L.A.” campaign that includes the 2007 Jimmy Carter Work Project in fall and its home repair program “A Brush with Kindness.” A Brush with Kindness serves low-income homeowners impacted by age, disability and family circumstances who struggle to maintain their home. On Saturday, May 12 volunteers from the Rolling Hills Covenant Church worked alongside a family to make much-needed repairs to their Wilmington home.

With a moderate investment of funds and volunteer labor, Habitat is now able to help more local families than ever before. Communities that partner with Habitat for Humanity become more familiar with their neighborhoods, therefore assisting in referring qualified homeowners, and identifying neighborhood areas that have the most need. During the 2007 Jimmy Carter Work Project taking place October 28 through November 2, 100 homes will be completed. Habitat is currently accepting applications from families and those who wish to nominate families for A Brush With Kindness – To apply contact 310-323-4663 or visit (www.habitatla.org).
