Habitat for Humanit - Greater Los Angeles
Contact


Launched in 2000 with a 20 house "blitz build", Hollywood for Habitat for Humanity (HFHFH) is an entertainment industry partnership with Habtiat for Humanity.  Actors, screenwriters, musicians, agents, directors, producers, studio executives and label executives are among the thousands of volunteers who have helped build homes for people in need, in the United States and around the world.

HFHFH was founded by Screenwriter/Director Randall Wallace (Braveheart, We Were Soldiers) to support Habitat for Humanity's goal of eliminating substandard housing by making decent, affordable housing a matter of conscience and action.  Participants support the work through donations, volunteer house and advocacy.  HFHFH works in partnership with Habitat for Humanity of Greater Los Angeles to help HFHFH volunteers connect to build opportunities locally and around the globe.  



              30 Seconds to Mars builds with Hollywood for Habitat for Humanity              

On June 30, 2008, multi-platinum selling recording artists 30 Seconds to Mars joined hands with Hollywood for Habitat for Humanity for a one-of-a-kind Habitat build day in Los Angeles, CA. In advance of the build, the band organized an auction of "build slots" to give fans the opportunity to volunteer alongside them and their family and friends. In less than a week, six extra workers were enlisted and over $10,000.00 was raised to fund additional Habitat for Humanity projects.

Working on a home being repaired and renovated through the Habitat for Humanity of Greater Los Angeles' "A Brush With Kindness" program, the band, their family and friends, and the auction winners joined Melvin Jones as he performed urgently needed repairs to the home that his mother currently resides in and has owned for over 35 years.  For more information on the 30 Second to Mars build with HFHFH, click here
