PATH Santa Barbara hosted the third annual A Toast to Home Fundraiser May 30 at the Santa Barbara Historical Museum.
PATH provides services to some 500 individuals each year, and annually helps more than 100 people find a place to live.
All funds raised at the event go toward PATH Santa Barbara’s programs that include interim housing, street outreach, housing navigation and supportive services.
The event was emceed by Geoff Green, and speakers included PATH CEO Jennifer Hark Dietz, and Liz Adams, PATH Santa Barbara regional director.
PATH also honored County Supervisor Das Williams for his years of support.
“I am so honored that we have come together to build a community where we all work together to break down barriers and support our neighbors who are unhoused,” said Adams, who recently marked her first year as regional director.
“Together, with compassion and understanding, we can build a future where everyone has a home,” she said.
Local guitarist Rob Crocker provided music for the evening. Food and beverages came from Catering Connection, Sunstone Winery, Fess Parker Winery, and Grassini Family Vineyards.
“We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to all our sponsors, partners and attendees for their generosity and commitment to our mission,” PATH Santa Barbara said. “The support and funds raised make a real difference in the lives of those experiencing homelessness in our community.”
Event sponsors included Noozhawk, 805 Living, Holly Kane Interior Design, Claire West Orr, Nancy Fiore, Santa Barbara Historical Museum, The Balay Ko Foundation, and The Mowrer Homeless Justice Fund.
