San Gabriel Valley Habitat for Humanity

A number of St. Bede parishioners are involved with the San Gabriel Habitat for Humanity. This is a service ministry that provides affordable home-ownership in partnership with God and all people to develop caring cooperative communities in which God's people in need can live and grow. Habitat For Humanity constructs affordable homes for first-time homebuyers (very-low and low income) primarily thorough volunteers, donated services and materials, and cash donations. They also provide mentoring and support for new homebuyers.

SGVHFH provides a wonderful opportunity to work with fellow parishioners, other churches and places of worship, and people in the community in a common goal of helping families who could not otherwise afford a home of their own become homeowners.

Our current building site is 711 N. Kenwoood where we are building 11 homes. Many opportunities are available for weekday and Saturday volunteers.You may bump into Wayne Kruse and/or other fellow parishioners. Groups of more than 2 volunteers must call the Habitat office at 626.792.3838 to set up a work date to ensure that meaningful work and adequate supervision can be provided.

A small volunteer group from St. Bede's under the able direction of Bridgid Halpenny, 818.957.8116 meet in the Parish Hall on "specific" Saturdays to make lunches for the work crew that is at the construction site. Please call Bridgid if you want to help.

Habitat is also making plans to build 4 homes on Sherman Avenue in Monrovia. Before construction can begin, $350,000 dollars must be raised. Donated building materials and professional design and construction services are also needed. Please contact Habitat if you can provide monies, materials, and/or services.”

If you would like to be contacted via email regarding the status of construction or future St. Bede’s work days, please contact Joe Kristof.
