Habitat LA held its 5th “Raise the Roof” winetasting in partnership with the Habitat LA Long Beach Area Faith Coalition! The event took place at a beautiful home in Long Beach with 150 people in attendance, raising nearly $40,000. Both were records for the event! The Long Beach Area Faith Coalition consists of representatives from a dozen active area congregations who, over the last five years, have come together to pray, volunteer, advocate, and raise nearly $300,000 of support for our work in Long Beach’s Washington Neighborhood.
Leading sponsors for this year’s event include Jack & Binnie Berro, Farmers & Merchants Bank, Wendy Burton, Gary and Lindsey Fields, Lisa Broder, Financial Partners Credit Union, Team Pennywise Inc., TSG Wealth Management, and Mary Voigt. Special thanks are given to Kristina and Bill Shafton, Save Our Beach, and Simply Stated Wines.
