Habitat for Humanity Inland Valley will host the Temecula Valley Chamber of Commerce's November Evening Mixer on Wednesday, Nov. 18, at Promenade Temecula.
The networking event runs from 5 to 7 p.m. near Habitat's Christmas Tree Lane display on the mall's bottom floor, outside the JC Penney entrance, according to the chamber's event page. Attendance is free for chamber members. Non-members pay $30.
The mixer gives the Temecula-based nonprofit a platform to introduce its affordable-housing work to local business owners and professionals. Habitat for Humanity Inland Valley focuses on removing barriers to homeownership across Southwest Riverside County, according to the organization's website. The nonprofit builds and renovates homes alongside partner homebuyers, who invest 350 to 500 hours of sweat equity and take on affordable mortgages rather than receiving free houses.
Tammy Marine, a Temecula Valley Chamber board member, has led Habitat for Humanity Inland Valley for two decades. Marine became president and CEO in 2005 and expanded the organization into home repairs and veteran support, according to a chamber spotlight profile. She also serves as a founding board member of Habitat for Humanity California.
Attendees at the Nov. 18 mixer will get to walk through Christmas Tree Lane, Habitat Inland Valley's annual holiday fundraiser at the Promenade. This year's theme is "Once Upon a Time," featuring decorated trees and ornaments. Proceeds support the nonprofit's homebuilding mission, according to the organization's event listing.
RSVPs are open through the chamber's event page. Residents interested in Habitat for Humanity Inland Valley's homeownership program can reach the organization at (951) 296-3362, ext. 202.
