PVHFH

Pomona Valley HFH is a locally run affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International, a nonprofit, ecumenical Christian housing organization. Habitat for Humanity works in partnership with people in need to build and renovate decent, affordable housing. The houses then are sold to those in need at no profit and with no interest charged.

Volunteers provide most of the labor, and individual and corporate donors provide money and materials to build Habitat houses. Partner families themselves invest hundreds of hours of labor - "sweat equity" - into building their homes and the homes of others. Their mortgage payments go into a revolving Fund for Humanity that is used to build more houses.

We proudly serve the communities of Chino, Chino Hills, Claremont, Covina, Diamond Bar, Glendora, La Puente, La Verne, Montclair, Ontario, Pomona, Rancho Cucamonga, San Dimas, Upland, Walnut and West Covina.

CONSTRUCTION UPDATE:

During this season of giving, please remember Pomona Valley Habitat for Humanity when making your year-end gifts.

As the holiday season approaches, we all appreciate the service, fellowship and generosity of all those who see the work of Pomona Valley Habitat for Humanity as valuable and important. Thanks to committed volunteers and supporters like you, 35 families locally and over 300,000 globally are celebrating the holidays in their Habitat homes.

The Horton, Guerra, Vera/Alvarez, Ortiz and Cessna families all look forward to future holidays in their Habitat for Humanity homes - each of these families will realize their dreams of homeownership within the next year. However, we can't continue to build more houses and help more families, without financial and volunteer support. We need your help, especially for the Chino and Chino Hills homes currently under construction. We have received several generous donations for these homes, but we still have approximately $150,000 to raise to reach our funding goals and complete these homes for the Vera/Alvarez, Ortiz and Cessna families.

Consider a contribution to our home-building efforts on behalf of a friend or family member this Christmas season! Donations can be mailed to Pomona Valley Habitat for Humanity, 2111 Bonita Avenue, La Verne, CA 91750 or made online through our website by clicking here. Thank you for your support, and please continue to stay informed on our upcoming projects.

Pomona: Work is almost complete. The work left to be completed is concrete & light landscaping. We are in need of an experienced (preferably licensed) professional to install the irrigation system. If you are interested in making a donation of your services for this please contact Faith Mellinger – 909-596-7098 ext 205. We want to get these families in their homes before Christmas! Stay tuned for information on a house dedication ceremony.

Chino: Construction is under way on our Thrivent Builds House of Faith homes in Chino. We have volunteer opportunities available in December - check VolunteerUP for additional information on further dates. We're also looking for volunteers to provide lunch to our crews (Tue-Sat). If you are interested in providing lunch call Faith Mellinger at 909-596-7098 ext 205. We still need to raise about $40,000 to complete these homes – please consider making a donation toward this build.

Chino Hills: Our 3rd Annual LA County Fair Build was a success and phase one of the Cessna’s home is complete. The house is awaiting a move to it’s permanent location on Fairway Drive in Chino Hills while additional funds are being raised. (We need about $120,000 to move the home and complete the project). Interested donors should contact Faith Mellinger, Development Director, at 909-596-7098 ext 205. Once moved, construction is expected to commence in early 2009.
