Father Bob to Give Blessing at PSHH Groundbreaking

PSHH.tmb.fwIn recognition of All Saints’ continuing outreach to low-income families living at the Carpinteria Camper Park over the past years, Father Bob has been invited by Peoples’ Self-Help Housing to offer a blessing at the start of construction for 43 new affordable apartment town homes that will rise on the former Camper Park site.

All Saints has supported the work of PSHH since 2006 with both Outreach funds and the hands-on work of many parishioners.  Some of the many programs All Saints members have supported are:

  • delivery of healthy snacks for children in the after-school programs,
  • rehab of the community bathrooms (an M4 church project),
  • preparing camper trailers to be moved off-site,
  • move of the education trailer from Camper Park to Chapel Court apartments,
  • purchase and donation of furniture and furnishings to help Camper Park families move to unfurnished apartments,
  • providing adult assistance on field trips for children in the summer programs.

Parishioners may remember that the PSHH Camper Park project was the Outreach Committee’s first Focus Project, while M4 took on the refurbishment of the bathrooms at that site also, as noted above.  Parishioners are cordially invited to help celebrate this event at the construction site, 4096 Via Real (between Cravens Ln. and Santa Monica Rd.) from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Thursday, April 10. A light lunch will follow the program and tours will be offered.
