CLEARLAKE, Calif. – Habitat for Humanity has dedicated another home and welcomed another family into its circle.

On Saturday, Habitat staff, family and friends gathered to celebrate the occasion with lunch and fellowship before presenting the Steffan-Alvarez family with the key to their new home on Green Street in Clearlake.

Grocery Outlet stocked the pantry and the bathroom, and provided gifts for the two children, a generous donation that Habitat and the family all appreciate

“The boys are so excited to have their own rooms in time for Christmas,” said homeowner Jaiana Alvarez. “This is such a blessing.

Her husband Giovanni Steffan agreed. “We’re so grateful for all of the work Habitat for Humanity did with us in making this happen. We wouldn’t have this opportunity without them.”
