Cast members and fans enjoy a day of building a home and raising awareness for affordable housing.
“To be able to support Habitat LA in this way is such a gift,” said Lisa LoCicero. “There is such a need for decent, affordable housing, especially in Los Angeles, and I am honored to be able to help in some small way. I may be sore for days after, but I have a great time doing it! I can’t thank our fans enough for supporting this event for so many years!”
Dom Zamprogna added, “It’s so special to build with Habitat LA alongside the families who are working so hard to become homeowners. I feel blessed to be a part of this and I am so grateful to share this experience with our amazing fans, who give so generously to support this build event and Habitat’s mission.”
