What they’re saying

“The annual event took a pause in 2025, out of respect for those in Altadena, Pasadena and Sierra Madre who were affected by the Eaton Fire. The neighborhood's volunteer efforts were refocused toward helping fire-impacted friends and neighbors throughout the entire year through various community projects.”

— Annette Yasin, Bungalow Heaven Neighborhood Association President

“San Gabriel Valley Habitat for Humanity has been building homes in the area for 36 years, and partnering with neighbors has always been at the center of the work. Together with supporters throughout the community, SGV Habitat is currently helping to build homes for families whose homes were lost in Altadena. The generosity of visitors on the Bungalow Heaven Home Tour this year can help more families get back home more quickly. Thank you for your partnership!”

— Michael Bridges, Senior Director of Development at San Gabriel Valley Habitat for Humanity
