Title: Christmas in July


1
Christmas in July
  • National City, California

2
Mission Statement
  • Our mission statement is to repair,
    rehabilitate and modify homes in National City
    for low-income homeowners who are elderly,
    disabled and families with children so they can
    continue to live with dignity, independently and
    safely.

3
Who We Are
  • Christmas in July is a volunteer organization
    working in partnership with the community to
    rehabilitate housing. Our goal is to make a
    sustainable impact in the community. Christmas
    in July is a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit
    corporation. The National City organization was
    established in 1991, and has held an annual event
    in July for the last thirteen years.

4
What We Do
  • One Saturday in July each year, Christmas in
    July coordinates the efforts of hundreds of
    volunteers to rehabilitate homes throughout
    National City. Volunteers from all walks of life
    work side by side with skilled trades people as
    months of planning, organization, and fundraising
    culminate into a one-day renovation event.
    Carpentry, painting, plumbing, electrical,
    weatherization, trash removal, and/or general
    cleaning may be done leaving each home a better
    place to live.

5
Lets Get Started
6
Who We Help
  • Christmas in July helps people who own their
    homes, but because of age, physical limitation
    and low income, are unable to complete their own
    home repairs. Nonprofit facilities such as
    community centers that serve large populations of
    low-income people are included in the annual
    renovation efforts. All work is performed free
    of charge to the recipients.

Accomplishments
  • In the past thirteen years
  • 233 houses have been repaired, rehabilitated, and
    or modified.
  • 58 plus nonprofit projects cleaned or repaired.
  • 6,800 plus volunteers have worked on various
    projects.
  • Volunteers have put in over 78,200 hours.
  • Over 376,300 has been spent on materials.
  • Over 182,000 of donated materials.
  • All of the above equates to over 3.4 million
    dollars in fair market value of work during the
    last 14 years.
  • We have built and sold five houses for low to
    moderate income home ownership.

How To Get Involved
  • Sign up as a volunteer
  • Christmas in July needs people with all
    different skills. We need those who can clean
    floors, do yard work, scrape paint, wash walls,
    etc. You do not need to be skilled in house
    repairs, and any skill will be well utilized.

10
How To Get Involved
  • Skilled Trades People
  • Christmas in July has a continuous need for
    qualified electricians, roofers, plumbers,
    flooring installers, glaziers, carpenters, cement
    finishers, and other skilled labor. Many of the
    repairs could not be made without these skills,
    frequently the ones homeowners can least afford.

How To Get Involved
  • In-kind Donations
  • Durable building materials are a necessity for
    the success of our repair program, from doorknobs
    to roof tiles, and paint to plumbing fixtures.
    Donated materials help us leverage the funds we
    solicit and enable us to repair an increasing
    number of projects.

13
How To Get Involved
  • Sponsorship
  • Christmas in July receives funds from
    fundraising, businesses, corporations,
    foundations, Community Development Block Grant
    Funds, service organizations, clubs, associations
    and individuals. Some sponsor a specific
    rebuilding program or project.

14
How To Get Involved
  • House Sponsorship
  • House Sponsorsadopt a house for a generous
    cash donation of 2,000. Christmas in July will
    recognize House Sponsors in all media coverage
    and promotions. An attractive sign will
    acknowledge your House Sponsor support to all
    who visit the Christmas in July National City
    Site. As a House Sponsor you can supply a
    labor force to rehabilitate your house, or if you
    prefer, volunteers will be assigned to help at
    your house.
