The Montecito Association invites residents, community stakeholders, and local organizations to attend Hands Across Montecito: Meet the Team & Learn How You Can Help on Thursday, June 5, from 5-7 pm at The Friendship Center (89 Eucalyptus Lane).
Celebrating five years of compassion in action with Hands Across Montecito (HAM), this special event aims to raise awareness about the community’s innovative homeless outreach program. Come meet our outreach team, hear real stories, and find out how you can help support unhoused individuals right here in Montecito.
The evening will feature an intro to the HA team with a program overview from Sharon Byrne, a panel discussion with ground updates and success stories, audience Q&A, volunteer opportunities, light refreshments, and raffle prizes.
“Hands Across Montecito is a grassroots effort that started five years ago, with proven results, helping some of the most vulnerable members of our community find a path to stability,” said Houghton Hyatt. “This event is a chance for residents to see firsthand the impact of their support – and to learn simple, meaningful ways to make a difference.”
The event is free and open to the community. Seating is limited and advance RSVP is encouraged.
