A Big Thanks to the Habitat LA Westside Church Coalition
The Habitat LA Westside Church Coalition (WCC) has been one of our long-time partners and supporters since 2014. The coalition, comprised of nine churches from across the Westside, have raised over $190,000 to support our ten-house Culver City development, including the future home of the Mulvihill family. Hundreds of volunteers from the coalition have helped to advocate, educate, and build over the last five years through various events and fourteen build days onsite. We are so grateful for their support, especially from our WCC leadership team, led by Dianne Tyau. Thank you for all that you have done to help us build LA!
