Our Food Cycle program allows community members who can't compost at home to still divert their food waste. We have a triple bin aerated static pile system that is on a precise timeline to get food scraps cooking and turned into finished compost to be sent back out into the community as fast as possible. Our team of volunteers is instrumental in this process! Every month we need help harvesting finished compost from one of our bins to make way for the next round of pile building. Join in and learn about composting and the amazing bokashi method! In this event you will assist with: ‣ Shoveling finished compost ‣ Sifting compost using our awesome trommel ‣ Moving compost to curing station

Batter, Batter, Swing! Today, LEGOLAND® California Resort unveiled a LEGO® model of Petco Park, the home stadium of the San Diego Padres. The LEGO model, built with more than 150,000 bricks, will reside in the world’s first and only MINILAND U.S.A. version of San Diego debuting at LEGOLAND California on March 23. The life-like ballpark took a team of four Master Model Builders a total of 1,200 hours to complete. The stadium is full of more than 1,000 colorful Minilanders cheering on the Padres and features a working video board displaying animated scenes. Earlier this week, before settling into its home at LEGOLAND California, the Petco Park model stopped by its namesake to enjoy spectacular ballpark views as the Padres’ grounds crew prepared the field for another fun-filled season of baseball. Petco Park is an iconic addition to the world’s first LEGO version of San Diego at LEGOLAND California. For the new city, Master Model Builders drew inspiration from top San Diego neighborhoods and landmarks including the Rady Shell, Hotel Del Coronado, California Tower at Balboa Park, Del Mar Racetrack and Fairgrounds, and San Diego’s incredible coastline. The new addition – which is in the final stages of construction – will feature prominent scenes, settings and themes that make up the city’s DNA. The new San Diego attraction joins New York, Washington, D.C., Las Vegas, and San Francisco, all located in MINILAND U.S.A., the heart of the Park. For more information, visit legoland.com.

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!
