Celebs including David Arquette, Corbin Bleu, Whitney Port, Victor Ortiz and the cast of Little Women LA, joined forces to help build three new homes and revitalize a neighborhood in Inglewood, CA during Habitat for Humanity of Greater Los Angeles’ (Habitat LA) 2016 Hollywood Build. This two-day build, presented by Lowe’s, included the Entertainment Industry Build on June 12th and the annual Power Women, Power Tools on June 13th.
Volunteers over the two days included celebrities, entertainment industry executives and Lowe’s Heroes employees, who volunteered side-by-side with Habitat LA families who also invest their time and energy into sweat equity hours as part of their partnership with the organization. Specifically, volunteers rocked an entire block in Inglewood with the continued construction of three new homes at Habitat LA’s Hyde Park Place site as well as helping to repair, beautify and “green” homes in the surrounding neighborhood.
The 2016 Hollywood Build is part of Habitat LA’s commitment to investing $100 million into affordable homeownership opportunities and neighborhood revitalization in Los Angeles over the next five years as part of its Building a Greater Los Angeles campaign. The event also supports a yearlong goal between Lowe’s and Habitat for Humanity International to help 1,000 families build or repair their homes by the holidays.
