Build day is one of the first community projects for new nonprofit organization
Los Angeles, CA – October 27, 2017: The newly established South Bay Cares organization is partnering with Habitat for Humanity of Greater Los Angeles (Habitat LA) for a build project in the greater Los Angeles area. On October 27, 2017, 40 South Bay Cares members will help with home repairs at one of Habitat LA’s projects in Torrance.
“We, at South Bay Cares, are so excited to take part in a Habitat for Humanity of Greater Los Angeles build day and 
support this wonderful organization,” shared South Bay Cares Co-Founder, Courtney Lingle. “I was introduced to this wonderful cause by The Agency, the company I work for, and knew it was a perfect fit for South Bay Cares. We are a socially minded nonprofit dedicated to advocating for human, environmental and constitutional rights, what a better way to spend the day.”
South Bay Cares members have a goal to raise $10,000 to support Habitat LA and their work. The organization is dedicated to giving back to the community they live in and raising awareness about the need for affordable housing.
“We are appreciative of advocates like Courtney who are moved to activating change in their own community,” says, Erin Rank, President and CEO, Habitat LA. “We are thrilled that South Bay Cares has chosen Habitat LA as one of their first partners in creating that change and we look forward to a continuing partnership with the organization.”
South Bay Cares is actively raising funds to support their build day initiative.
