Habitat staff and volunteers from all of our properties gathered together at Bishop’s Pumpkin Farm in Wheatland, CA, for our 3rd quarterly meeting of the year. The event provided a wonderful opportunity to discuss ongoing projects, celebrate our current programs, and recognize the dedicated individuals who make our work possible.
Following the meeting, team members and their loved ones enjoyed an early dinner together, explored the farm's rides and seasonal treats, and picked out their perfect fall pumpkins to take home with them.

Providing sustainable housing for the Yuba-Sutter community is essential to our mission of ending homelessness—and projects like our Merriment Village are prime examples of that work.
Your support helps provide safe, stable housing for families and individuals facing hardship. Every donation expands our ability to provide homes and respond to the growing need for stability and affordability across Yuba, Sutter, Glenn, and Colusa counties.
When you give, you’re doing more than helping people find a home—you’re building a stronger, more resilient community, one family and one neighborhood at a time.
