Homeownership is a difficult but rewarding accomplishment, and Bay Area Habitat is proud to have facilitated Ebony Brooks’ transition from apartment renter to homeowner! We could not have done this without the support of our board, volunteers, donors, sponsors, and more. Thank YOU for all that you do.
”I want to thank Bay Area Habitat for Humanity and all the people involved in the decision to make our dream of owning a home a reality, because I know that love and kindness and believing that there are people who really care are still out there.

Valero is a special place. I am proud to work for a company that gives through the hearts of its employees by volunteering or monetary donations. Congratulations, Ebony Brooks!
