More than 80 volunteers, sponsors, partner families and Habitat for Humanity of Ventura County (HFHVC) staff gathered at the Vista Campanario build site in Camarillo last month for the annual Women Build 2025 event. The participants worked side by side to paint inside three of the eight housing units under construction. When complete, these eight homes will go to local families — many of whom took part in the event, putting their own “sweat equity” toward their future homes. Sponsors included Bank of America, AAA, Edison, HR Business Solutionz, Nicholas Planning & Development and H.O.M.E.
“Don’t look at today as just a day of painting,” said HFHVC CEO Darcy Taylor. “You are, in essence, changing people’s lives. Long after we’re gone, these buildings are going to be here, and people are going to be living in these houses, blessing families over generations. Habitat Ventura is not just about our organization — it’s about the community and sponsors who make this possible.”
“Homes are the safe place where families thrive, and that makes the community strong. Bank of America is very committed to Ventura County and has been supporting Habitat for Humanity for over 30 years nationally,” said Midge Campbell-Thomas, Ventura-Santa Barbara President of Bank of America, who attended the event. “It’s always rewarding to come here, meet volunteers, and see firsthand the meaningful impact these homes have in our community.”
