Members of the BIA/OC, HomeAid Orange County, Habitat for Humanity, UCI students, Bank of America, Hall & Foreman and State Street Corporation participated in a day-long landscaping and clean-up day at the Village of Hope transitional housing shelter in Tustin.

The courtyard of the shelter.

Volunteers planted bushes and shrubs throughout the shelter’s grounds.

BIA/OC’s Bryan Starr helps move desks, bed frames and dressers upstairs to the bedrooms.

Past President of the BIA/OC, Tom Grable of William Lyon Homes, plants in the front parking lot. He even brought his two sons to help out!

Volunteer Day was the family affair as everyone pitched in to make the shelter a welcoming environment for its future residents.

Scott Larson, Executive Director of HomeAid Orange County, meets with Sharon Ellis, Executive Director for Habitat for Humanity Orange County.

Using creativity, skill and strength, volunteers used some serious teamwork to expedite the furniture moving.
