Enjoy food and drinks from chefs and restaurants around the county as they share their favorite tastes from home during our first-ever Taste of Home event. All proceeds support our newest 10-home community on El Norte Parkway in Escondido. Because of significant permitting delays and tight funding deadlines, this site will almost entirely be built using skilled labor instead of our usual volunteers. We need the help of our entire community to help make affordable homeownership possible for ten new Habitat homeowners. Attendees will have the opportunity to hear from our newest homeowners and fill their homes with good wishes by signing the exposed walls and beams on-site. Support the building of this project by participating in our raffle and auction, win fun prizes, and learn about all the ways that San Diego Habitat works within our region. Ticket Details: Your ticket to the Taste of Home includes food and beverage tastings from restaurants, wineries, and breweries around the county. You will mingle with Habitat staff, meet our newest homeowners and sign the walls of the homes bringing good energy to this new community!
