sherman fundraising updates

With our Sherman Avenue build in Monrovia entering into its final months before completion, we recently received two generous contributions to help alleviate the nearly $40,000 remaining to finish the homes. Xerox, which has a large office in Monrovia, has given us $6,000 in addition to their volunteerism at the Sherman construction site! A special thank you goes out to Paul McAnnally-Linz, a member of our Board of Directors who is also with Xerox and has orchestrated this wonderful new partnership.

California Community Foundation is a Los Angeles-based nonprofit organization dedicated to the improvement of the qualify of life for local residents. One way in which they carry out this mission is through authorizing grants to help other nonprofits ... such as giving San Gabriel Valley Habitat for Humanity $25,000 for our construction efforts in Monrovia!!

With the immense generosity of these two local donors, we are now only $9,000 away from our fundraising needs at Sherman. Thank you Xerox and California Community Foundation for investing in our beloved San Gabriel Valley!
