On Saturday September 17, SBTHP hosted about twenty volunteers who signed up to work at nonprofits all over Southern California through United Way’s Day of Caring event.

The volunteers accomplished a tremendous amount of work at the Presidio in four short hours, including whitewashing adobe walls, preparing beds for a winter garden, and making adobe bricks.
